I don't think even Nintendo is capable of as stupid a design flaw as a security hole allowing piracy that goes through the battery.

They did that with the Iphone, right?

The lack of a user-removable battery on the iPhone has nothing to do with piracy. That's all about aesthetics: Apple doesn't want seams or screws on the hardware, and doesn't want the slight increase in size that would come with it. Nintendo has taken a lot of design cues from Apple in recent years, but they have yet to copy that particular detail, and I don't see why they'd start now.

Not to mention it is a terrible decision on Apple's part, it requires to you to have Apple replace the iPhone/iPod Touch battery and they charge $79 on their site (not to mention you will lose all the data on them).

The battery isn't that hard to remove in the iPhone 4, at least comparable to previous models.  It really isn't a big deal at all now.
