Homebrew and piracy are not synonymous. Not even close. Homebrew literally: brewed at home=(obviously) home made games and apps.
Now, you can homebrew apps that let you play back-up copies.
But saying homebrew=piracy is like saying that wild plants=poisonous. Not that cut and dry, folks. |
Yeah but the main attraction of homebrew is piracy, without the ability to pirate it would die. Without so many people using it for piracy all those other apps that people make would not exist, afterall who would bother making apps for something hardly anyone ever uses?
Its like R4 on the DS, can get some great homebrew apps for them but really we all know what R4s main use is and why people buy it. Wii homebrew is no different.

Still doesn't make it fair to link them all together.
Let's just go ahead and say that everyone who buys a gun plans to shoot someone, or say that everyone who owns a steak knife plans to stab someone with it.

Your examples are flawed, the people who homebrew or buy R4s to pirate are people who buy steak knives to eat stake. People who use it for legal homebrew apps are those few who decide to stab someone.

The majority of PC users also use their PC for casual piracy at the very least (downloading MP3s illicitly being the most common activity). I guess we should ban open-ended platforms like the PC. Force everyone to use closed platforms like Mac. While we are at it, we should have the government take control of the internet. It's way too open-ended. You can use the internet for illegal things. And most people use the internet for illegal activity (casual piracy being the most common).
