Soon, there will be a way to pirate Wii U software and that's not going to sit well with the poor Wii U sales. 

Hacking doesn't have to do with the ability to pirate games. I'm pretty sure you will find ISOs of the released WiiU-games already if you search, it should be no problem to copy them. You also don't need a hacked WiiU, an emulator would also suffice to play the pirated games.

Well, I'm guessing that you'd need some way to execute homebrew to run pirated games don't you. I don't think you could just burn a Wii U disc and play it like early CD based consoles. Or, wait. Are you saying you can play them without homebrew!? Lord have mercy, if that's true! But I will buy all of Nintendo's first partys. I won't pirate those. If there's a Wii U emulator right now on PC does it work?

Not that I'm aware of, that an emulator exists now. That was a more theoretical approach. But if the emulator is ready (and as people pointed out Dolphin should be half of the work) you could play pirated games without jailbreaking a WiiU. Also this hack should enable piracy but not homebrew, homebrew really needs the ability to execute unsigned binaries. As I have no interest in piracy, but in homebrew this hack is of no interest for me. I will wait for the new Twilight-hack.
