Well this was a blast when this Ouya console news was posted, but i found a nice to read article about pros/cons.

"Have at it: It's easy to root (and rooting won't void your warranty)," Ouya's creators write on their Kickstarter page. "Everything opens with standard screws. Hardware hackers can create their own peripherals, and connect via USB or Bluetooth. You want our hardware design? Let us know. We might just give it to you. Surprise us!" Surprise: this could be the most pirated console in gaming history. Users who jailbreak or modify its hardware won't have to worry that they might be doing something illegal or breaking their expensive systems for good. And they won't have a very difficult time finding easily-accessible ROM and ISO files for every game imaginable, from NES classics to brand new Ouya titles. Piracy is a serious problem on PCs; on Ouya, it could be the norm.

The article states that Ouya, could be the most pirated console in gaming history. (Well seems that the author forgotten Family game..)
But in the other hand the author of this article contacted Ouya creator and said this:

I asked Ouya CEO Julie Uhrman whether their developer partners are worried about piracy. "No, developers haven't said they're concerned," Uhrman told me in an e-mail. "Developers should know that—despite the openness of our platform—all paid content on Ouya will require the user's payment to be authenticated by us. We want developers to be rewarded for the value of the games they make." She says there will be an app submission model. She also says every game will have optional DRM, or digital rights management, the anti-piracy tool that has become something of a curse word in gaming today.

Well, it's pirate's paradise and begs to be hacked.

But it's not all candy and rainbows, according to the author quoting Valve's Gabe Newell: has said often, piracy is not a pricing issue; it's a service issue. Everyone is willing to spend money when it's easier or more beneficial or more rewarding than downloading a game for free. But Ouya's service is that it's a hackable platform. It's a pirate's playground. Which could be great news for emulator-loving gamers—and awful news for Ouya.

I read that the creators of Ouya said themselves that they are making the Ouya open source so people could create there on games and etc.They already know the risks of that.
