Yes, the game was pirated 1 million times, but that doesn't mean 1 million people downloaded it and played it illegally.
There is a (tiny) percent that bought the game and then played on Dolphin because they didn't want to mod their Wii's and the fact that sometimes same user do multiple downloads, be it for corrupted data or cancel the download or for the sake of it.But yeah, it was heavily pirated anyway.
As for me, I bought a PAL copy and softmodded my wii to play it, and let me tell you is my 3rd best game of all time, is THAT good.

Also, I don't think Nintendo only ports from PAL to NTSC , I saw a trailer in the Operation Rainfall facebook page and the voice of Shulk was definetely not british so I'm sure they are doing all the voices again so that would explain why the game releases on April
