I highly encourage everyone to not DL Wii games without paying for them. I guess chipping is fine because it lets you import games that would never be released in your area.
About stealing older games on systems that are no longer supported, I see more wiggle room in this. I often play old NES games on the Facebook.com.
And I don't think comparing CDs to games in entirely accurate. Stealing $.75 (one song) is different than stealing $50. Also, many music artists don't mind if you take their songs. I have not looked into this, but I doubt this is the same for Wii developers. I tend to rent, borrow, or buy used most of the games I play. If they have Gamefly where you live, you can use the service for very cheap by playing 20 short videos on your PC every month ($10 off).
Anyway, you cut it, I don't thing you should lose sleep about the moral issues of something like this. The legal issues and possible damage to your system seem more important.
