What will Nintendo do about this huge problem?

I don't want to derail the conversation too much, but it's not possible to simply burn a Wii game to a disc and put into a modified system and have it work. Wii discs are in the same format as GC discs, and are not the same as standard DVDs. Hell, the Wii doesn't even spin the discs in the same direction that a DVD players spins its discs.

The technology is no doubt similar, but you have to have a second work-around to actually play games on a Wii after you've gotten it modified (most likely a cable to connect to your pc, like with the GC).

Actually, it does spin discs in the STD direction. Discs just are "mirror images" of normal DVD:s. And who's the one that said about the size of PS3 games? Now how many games so far are over 30GB? Not a single one. Besides the size doesn't even matter, since the images can be compressed, if not now, in the future they will be. Few days of waiting to get something for free instead of buying 60-70€ from it, isn't a problem for many and besides, the 500k example, hardly anyone has so slow connection these days. But, BD being not common yet, helps with piracy. But what would help with Nintendos next console to fight piracy, would be using HD-DVD as its media.
