Wii Update 3.3 Kills Feeloader Too?

[iSynic]

hehe, i'm not impressing anyone, but i own the real copies of all "wad" games i have on my wii..

btw, the homebrew channel is all i use now anyway, i just love Quake wii..
just to let you know, i have the real Quake too..

EDIT: forgot to say that i really don't like to buy MY games twice, and if you're not happy with that, go ahead buy your games twice.
you can come to sweden, to my house and format my wii (update it to 3.3) and computer just to remove all my wads..
the second you get the hell out of my house i will do it all over again.

btw, maybe you wanna remove my d2ckey too?
just to let you know, i have it soldered on a wii-clip so all you have to do is open my wii and drag it out of there.

please tell me that you have NEVER EVER done anything illegal, maybe some songs on your computer that you haven't ripped of original cd's.
and tell me if you never used an emulator on the HBC, that my friend is exactly the same as wads, just a little more space efficient.

i just happen to think that it's alot better to download some games that i've already bought once or songs that i want than going on the streets selling drugs or killing people just for fun.

I never compared downloading games to selling drugs or killing people, and fail to see how that formulates a valid arguement. You stated you'd never need the shop channel again. I have a hard time believing that you own everything that will ever be on the shop channel that you will want to play.

Even were that the case, the games you bought the first time are still illegal if you steal them the second. Until better laws are written regarding digital media, the fact remains that you're buying a license to one copy of their software. Downloading a second in order to play it in a way Nintendo never offered for free is theft. There's really just no two ways around it.

I'm not saying I approve of the way the law is written. I just think that something like this requires responsibility because Nintendo kind of has the homebrew community by the balls. And gambling it on something like a $5 game just seems like an awful waste compared to the potential good that could come out of it.

Do you not know about the fact that he could be ripping his own games? He's probably not, but the option is there. It's completely legal to make a single dump of games for personal use, which is what I do with all my DS and GBA games. Rather then carry them all around, I have them all on a single 1 GB card.

He never said anything about installing pirated WiiWare games, and he could be going about playing the games he already owns in a completely legal way.

Quit being overly judgmental.

Except you legally don't own the hardware. You own the right to use it, and their terms of use clearly state they have the right to to revoke or change that use at any time, in any way.

Not saying I approve, but they have every right.



If you mean you don't need it because you can just wad install everything, you're hardly setting yourself up to impress anybody. It's people like you who got their attention to have it banned in the first place. Way to go, you really impress us with your piracy!
/sarcastic golf clap.

Actually you do own the hardware and can do whatever you want with it. Back when Nintendo was suing Galoob trying to stop the Game Genie, the courts stated "Having paid Nintendo a fair return, the consumer may experiment with the product and create new variations of play, for personal enjoyment."

Sounds like Datel should sue over the AR blocking based on this. Oh and Terms of Use =/= the law.

i dont have any wiiware games on my wii, cus so far they all suck.
i said i own every originals i CURRENTLY have on my wii.
i'm 100% certain that i will get more wads, even some i dont own, but that's not my problem, just my way of living.
there have and will always be piracy, i know alot of people copied floppy discs that contained a game or an app for, lets say the Atari ST, piracy has been around for a VERY long time and will always be here.
my head says: it's enough to buy the hardware so you can mod it and play whatever you want thereafter.

Even though Microsoft is more evil than Nintendo, Sony and Sega combined (well, maybe not Sony), at least it is American.

Borders are irrelevant these days especially with corporations of this scale. These are all multinational companies and they don't care about anything but your money. Wal-Mart is also American, but if anything, they've devastated your country by producing all their goods cheaply in China and forcing all sorts of US manufacturers to close down.
