Wii Homebrew Sites Supporting Piracy ? - The Back Up Loader is Bad for Homebrew

[souLLy]

Nah just though this would keep you guys happy seeing as this 'illegal software' has been stopped in its tracks early. ...oh and thanks for clearing up my previous posts questions regarding piracy of this site. ...not! lol

This guy should employ more trustworthy beta testers in the future.

Fair question, to keep it short and sweet, the way we look at modchips, flashcarts and loaders;
-if it lets you run homebrew software
-is developed with legal tools
-and is legal to aquire
then generally we allow it on the site.

If the answer to any of those statements was no then most likely it wouldn't be allowed on the site. For things where it is up for debate the staff will decide amongst ourselves the official site line.

This loader doesn't allow homebrew, it is only for piracy, therefore it fails one of those conditions.

Thanks for the answer.

Going back to my comparisons I just assumed modchips were generaly used for pirated games and not for homewbrew software though?

Generally they are, but if they also allow homebrew to be run on a console then we normally tolerate them.

Well, from what I'm hearing Wanin was just handing out the beta to any random person...makes no sense to me
