90 Percent of US DS Owners Playing Pirated Games

90% might be an overestimate, but I have to admit that I know a few who use it, and they're not exactly computer experts. In fact, it's the casual user that seems to use this more among my friends, the hardcore gamers I know are more likely to buy the proper game so they can use it online.

as far as i know you can use these online, or so i have read, but i would reckon both hardcore and casual a like buy a mixture of both and its more likely 90% of ds owners have heard of R4 rather than own one.

But owning an R4 doesn't automatically = piracy. Several people use them only to play homebrew roms and applications.

Several? Wow your right, they're harmless to the games industry!

yes several, the same several who bought a gizmondo and still believe sega will start making hardware again...
