Maybe I'm just being a cynic but I really do think that in most cases, people mod for piracy, pure and simple.

Still, nice to see that it's not being portrayed as some evil nasty thing.

Yeah, you keep thinking that...

99% of the time, modding has nothing to do with homebrew.

Well, I think the idea is that it CAN be used for homebrew. And a lot of people use it for that, just... not solely that.

There are a select few who only use modded systems for homebrew, which is perfectly fine... but the temptation's always there.

The "can be used for" argument is really worthless... it's really what it actually gets used for.

I'm not saying anthing against modding, just the idea that it's used mostly for legal purposes is a very wrong idea.

This is true, 99% of the time people fall for the temptation.

Kind of reminds me of P2P, actually. It doesn't have to be used for piracy, but often is.

*OoBurns glances at his µTorrent history.

Buy game. Make backup. I'm missing the irony here. Making a Wii backup only requires a certain model of a few LG drives, or an SD Gecko.

That's kinda' what I was getting at. Plus I don't pirate Wii games anyway. I mostly use the DS for emulation/Homebrew purposes only. Save for the few games I grab off the internet to play before I buy it. Probably not the most legal of ways, but in the end, it's just.
