Legal Warning: Argonchannel is a free homebrew material distribution service for all the ARGON2 customers. Our objective is to promote the use of FREE software on the Nintendo WII. Our team will update the Argon Channel with new and interesting software every week and you can download it direct from the Argon Channel. Our project goal is to allow easy access to the latest News 'n' Brews without needing to search the 'net on your PC. Over the 60% of WII users do not have a computer and even an expert user can benefit from the Argon Channel. The Argon Channel allows you to receive, direct to your console, the latest and greatest HOMEBREW applications and install them easily with only one click.
The application's copyright belongs to the developpers.
For developers: To support the HOMEBREW community our team will offer payment to developpers who submit a WAD installation file that is accepted for use on the Argon Channel, the minimum offer is 50 Euro for every title but that may increase depending on the quality and popularity of the software which you send to us!

Yes, I saw that awhile ago. Dont worry, I've already alerted the proper people (tona - who went on to alert other people).
Another interesting thing I saw was the quake channel. If pak1.pak is included in the channel, then id software could sue Argon for illegally distributing quake.

last news
now, could someone point me a way to prevent distribution of programs for commercial purpose (even if they stated those "channels" are obviously free of charge) ? Is this even possible ? (I mean, all the "scene" sites are doing the same thing indirectly)
also, what does the GPL license implies regarding binary distribution, I'm really not very familiar with that kind of stuff ?
Maybe it's possible to forbid the distribution along ANY illegal materials (ROM images off course but also nintendo proprietary channel stuff) ?
or maybe a way to prevent dol execution from a channel ?
thanks

COPYRIGHT ISSUE - UNDER FIXING
After the copyright issue of some parts of our project, expecially with MARCAN.
we decide to:
1- Remove TWILIGH HACK from our server
2- Remove all the applications that the owners don't authorize the distribution
3- We will remove LEGAL from the advertise of ARGON2, it will be nothing more than another modchip
We apologize about all this with HOMEBREW comunity and MARCAN.
We will meet in few days MARCAN to verify all is ok and any of his "copyright" are violated
Now we will start to develope our own applications that we will offer trought argonchannel soon.
SMS GATEWAY will be one of these, the possibility to send out SMS messagges to HANDY PHONES for free.

I'm assuming there would still be some remnants of the homebrew channel in memory as it launches your program; but I suppose you can't really rely on this.
Maybe you add a check to the SD:/apps/your app/boot.dol; This way they'd need it on the SD card and the SD card in the machine (which is what a channel install is designed to get around).
Of course, these aren't infallible tho

A check like this would block everyone who runs homebrew using Homebrew Disc Channel, Homebrew Loader and etc...
A better way is to check if the dol is in the Wii NAND, if is possible. If the check returns true... BSOD*!
