I blame the HomeBrew channel for lack of sales of many games. I know several people who will only purchase the best of the best (Zelda, Mario, Metroid) and all others they download for free using HomeBrew.

Stop spreding miss information the homebrew channel has nothing to do with piracy absolutly nothing. You can install everything you need to play backups without the homebrew channel and you can install homebrew channel without being able to play backups.

Please educate your self before making statements like this.

I work with someone that just "hacked" his Wii to install the HomeBrew channel and he said it was great for all the "free" games he was downloading. He mentioned COD MW:R, Super Mario Bros Wii, and No More Heroes 2. He asked if I wanted him "hack" my Wii so I could get all these games too. I told him I was not interested. Several other people I know have had the same thing done to "get the free games". The main reason people install the HomeBrew channel is to get the Backup Loader, and the main reason people get the Backup Loader is to play pirated games. Is that educated enough?

You're right. It's sad, really. I, too, know of quite a few people with hacked Wii's. And none of them have done it for any reason other than to play pirated games. People hack their Wii's to play pirated games, it's as simple as that. There *may* be an extremely tiny majority that modify their Wii's and don't pirate games, but the harsh truth is that 99% of them do. And a LOT of them are casuals. I know quite a few of them, and the weird thing is they don't actually seem to think they're doing anything wrong, but rather, that they've found a nifty way to play games for free.
