Nope, it works just like the write protect tab on the late lamented 3
1/2" floppy disk. Exactly the same. Now there is supposed to be
security firmware inside SD cards having to do with some DRM scheme or
other, but AFAIK it's never been used anywhere. The actual write
protect tab is simply a mechanical reminder.

I speak from experience if the tab is gone the card is locked. If
you;d like I have a two Gig SanDisk Extreme card I'll let you have
for half the cost of a new one, only missing the write enable/protect
tab.

I think the opposite is true. If the locking tab is gone, you
cannot lock the card. Anybody?

Sure you don't have to worry about it, the camera thinks the card
is locked and won't write to it, nor will any properly designed
card reader. I wish I could get large capacity MMC cards which
are just SD cards without a lock tab. But there is no such thing
as a large capacity MMC card...
