Regardless whether the content from the OP is real or fake, I would see the homebrew crowd and Nintendo wanting to work together to curb software piracy, because both suffer when piracy flourishes. Nintendo benefits from the R&D of homebrew's efforts in pushing the boundry of what the hardware was intended to do, while homebrew benefits from cheap, powerful, ubiquitous hardware. Piracy just undercuts both.
