Yeah...you can make the argument that modchips allow independents to make games and allow for other legal uses...but everyone knows almost everybody uses them to pirate games.

 I think the "indie games" argument is just a tiny bit irrelevant, now that WiiWare is launching and creating an easy way for developers to not only have their indie games published, but also to make money off of them.

@ omgwtfbbq: What legitimate, legal uses does a modchip offer someone?

Well if I remember correctly region locking is illegal in Australia.(Yet somehow the Wii still can be region locked) So technically it would be making something illegal, legal.
