Which is exactly what I have stated. Just with more words.

Ironically... Nintendo possibly used an illegally downloaded Rom on it's Wii store.

I think it's legal though for them, because they're the copyright holders.

Indeed. That would be the case.

But if they downloading it via a torrent... Then they would have uploaded data as well. Which means they have redistributed pirated software, which is where the grey area comes into it.
