Any app that would allow you to copy channels from one Wii to another would promote piracy.

Some channels -- virtual console games, etc -- would be locked.
Others? Netflix, Homebrew Channel, WiiMC, WiiFit channel -- that's just off the top of my head. Heck, add MarioKart channel.
Who's to say those would be locked? are you making a suggestion?Quote

Channels that are copyrighted by Nintendo? Sure.
Channels that are copyrighted and "Do not copy"? Sure.
Channels that are convenient quick-loads for something?
Channels 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?

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.
Saying that every channel will be encoded?
What are you talking about? Those are completely different things. We're talking about pirated content, not Miis or save files.Quote

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!).

Yes, what Nintendo provides is a system that assumes you have no permission to make a copy.Quote
Copying channels to the SD card is meant as a method to free up space on a wii's NAND, not as a transport mechanism from one wii to another. If you want those channels on another wii use the same method that was used to install them on the first wii.
That's *NOT* universally true.Quote

Not legally, no.

You wouldn't be able to distinguish between channel types. Any app that lets you copy channels between Wii's would allow for piracy (and they do).
Maybe I crossed the line between hypothetical systems and real systems here. You could have a system where some channels are locked, and some are not. Nintendo didn't implement that. Should we be punished for Nintendo's bad actions?)QuoteThat's not a valid claim.Quote

Sure you could. You've got some save games marked as "do not copy", you could have channels marked the same way.Quote

If Nintendo don't let you do it, you're going against the licence agreement you have with them. Arguing about the legality of that agreement here is pointless because none of us are lawyers nor do we work for Nintendo.Quote

I think these replies are just way too long for what can be answered with one line from the "Prohibited Content" section of this forum's rules:If Nintendo don't let you do it, you're going against the licence agreement you have with them.

saying that means everything we do in homebrew is illegal.
