Online only wouldn't really work, thanks to WiiConnect24 (you're both online 24/7).
I recall that the proposed solution was a "trial period" option, wherein you lose access to the game for a day or three, and your friends gets it for a day or three. At the end of that period, his copy dissolves, and yours is restored. Not sure how technically feasible that is, but I don't see it as impossible. More importantly, I think being able to lend out your digital games would be great for increasing sales, much like shareware was.
