Nintendo warns against the use of modchips!

If I want to go buy a Wii, and turn it into a toaster......try and stop me.

 

Companies need to start protecting their software better if they want to protect against piracy. I paid for the hardware, it's mine to do with as I please. If they want to argue liscencing, maybe they should start selling things even cheaper if we're only being "liscenced" our hardware.

I use products for things other than their intended purpose all the time!

 

For instance, I have this garbage intel processor on my desk that i wired to a USB cable (as to provide power) and it gets warm and keeps my drinks warm! Should Intel sue me?

 

I'm a huge fan of "ghetto-rigging" and getting things to do things they arent supposed to do. I paid money for it, so i can do what i want to it, If it breaks, its my fault.

 

You can never completely stop piracy, there will always be a way, You just have to make sure the average joe can't do it, and then you wont lose very much money, The more experienced people will ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS find workarounds.

 

If i cant modify a Wii, Then like IJTF said, Maybe it should remain Nintendo's property, and they can license it to me, Then when it breaks, they are responsible and i want it fixed free and fast. Sounds fair right?
