I agree with you that blocking homebrew is one way to fight piracy, it's just that I'm getting sick of companies telling me how I can or cannot use their products, which I've purchased with my own money. Nintendo blocking access to the shop channel or other stuff for those who have a modded console is one thing, as the shop is a service they are providing on their terms. It's still rather stupid and pointless, since they do such a lousy job of blocking these things, and modders on Wii aren't exactly harming other players like they are on PSN, etc.
In fact the only thing Nintendo have successfully completely blocked on Wii is region-switching... Kind of ironic, isn't it?

You see, that´s why i didn´t want to take the risk and mod my console, i know how you feel about them telling you how to use or what you can do to a product you paid money to OWN, but that´s the way it is and the risk is there that if you something else with it (like homebrew) they have the means to punish you in a way.
I´m whilling to take the risk and mod my wii for these games, specially Xenoblade, i watched a live stream when it came out for a few hours and it was absoulutely fantastic.

I agree with everything you said. I mean, even if you don't end up losing features by modding it, you still lose some of the 'magic' that comes from having a cohesive interface. I too am always in favor of supporting devs for their hard work by spending my hard-earned cash on their products, both in order to show appreciation and in order to guarantee I get more of the games I like (not to mention the whole 'stealing = bad' thing  )
Anyway, I apologize for dragging you into this debate against your will 
Hopefully when this is over we can give peace a chance, as the man said.

Hey don´t worry, that´s why we have and participate in these forums to begin with, it was a good conversation and i´m glad you agree with me. =)
