It required downgrading system menu to 3.4. Gecko lets me transfer save games, but it's not obvious. The same mechanism that prevents me from easily transfering my channels to another system also prevents me from transferring my Mii's or my save games. We're talking about pirated content, not Miis or save files. What are you talking about? Those are completely different things. Wii's do have console nicknames, yet there's no concept of 'This wii's directory' on the SD card. You might have three copies of a given channel if you have three wii's, for example. Even if everything is currently encrypted with the key, there's nothing to indicate which wii goes with what. But that isn't the approach Nintendo took. There is nothing to prevent a 'protected' item from being put on an SD card for space saving reasons, encrypted with the machine's ID key. The government of this country (USA) would not be able to do this itself, but it can look the other way when companies do it.ДЈ. The idea of saying 'We won't let you do something that is perfectly legal because you might use it for something illegal' is to hold someone guilty without trial, without a chance to confront the accuser. There is a restriction in the constitution that these companies are subject to federal regulation, but somewhere, someone said 'No regulation means do anything you want', not 'No regulation means do anything that the federal government can permit you to do'.

There's no authority in the constitution for the government to permit these companies to be private police. There's no authority in the constitution for these companies to be private police. The idea of saying, 'We will restrict what you can do with your legal stuff', well, this gets political. Still the same thing - you cannot move a Mii to a new machine as 'Mine', but as 'Other, you can't play with it as much'.Дў. If you want to get technical, fine: Mii's are not marked as 'do not copy', they just store enough information to tell if they are copied or not. Right now, most savefiles are clear all Mii's and Channels are not. If it doesn't have that mark, then it can be copied without any problem. Any item X can be marked as 'do not copy'. Next thing you know, you'll be saying that no Mii can be transfered to another wii (still working on that), or no save game can be copied (Mario Kart, Everybody Votes - thank you Geko!).ДЎ. Saying that every channel will be encoded? Saying that a channel will be marked as 'Encode with a specific wii's keys', so you can copy it to an SD card but only use it on one wii makes sense.

Heck, add MarioKart channel.ДЄlthough, actually, MK and WF are primarily for their save data.Д¬hannels that are copyrighted by Nintendo? Sure.Д¬hannels that are copyrighted and 'Do not copy'? Sure.Д¬hannels that are convenient quick-loads for something?Д¬hannels that can be freely downloaded from the internet, but maybe you've got a real slow connection, or a charge per MB connection? Or maybe you had a connection at home, but not when visiting your friend? Others? Netflix, Homebrew Channel, WiiMC, WiiFit channel - that's just off the top of my head. Some channels - virtual console games, etc - would be locked. Any app that would allow you to copy channels from one Wii to another would promote piracy.
