    Clearly this is a response to playing "backups" on the wii.

    IMHO the following change is illegal on Nintendo's part and won't survive in North America (I'm unfamiliar with laws elsewhere):
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Wii Network Service Privacy Policy Update

    Nintendo has updated the Wii Network Service Privacy Policy along side the update. The most notable change details how your Wii may download updates without your permission or even without notifying you first.

    Old Policy

    "To ensure that your Wii Console is operating properly and efficiently, we may download updates, patches, upgrades and similar software to your Wii Console. In addition, we may disable unauthorized or illegal software that has been placed on your Wii Console without notifying you where necessary, in order to comply with applicable laws, assist law enforcement, protect us and our customers, and prevent the use and distribution of software obtained through improper channels."

    New Policy

    "WE MAY WITHOUT NOTIFYING YOU, download updates, patches, upgrades and similar software to your Wii Console and may disable unauthorized or illegal software placed on your Wii Console to ensure that your Wii Console is operating properly and efficiently, comply with applicable laws, assist law enforcement, protect us and our customers, or prevent the use and distribution of software obtained through improper channels."

    I installed the Twilight Hack and HBC as soon as it was stable and easy. Never bothered with the apparently buggy "Backup" Loader. I don't even run much homebrew, but I don't like being told what I can and can not do on my own hardware. That's also why I have jailbroken my iPhone...

    @xbadcrcx: Eh, can't blame them for enforcing their monetary stream like any other company. They make money by selling games/licensing software. Not so much on the hardware. Same thing that Sony and Microsoft do w/ their game platforms.

    @matto14: Stop trying...to make money? That rings out in the capitalist world, as a man in the middle of the ocean asking politely for a life jacket.

    Shouldn't be surprising. You can't really expect their software team to sit around trying to figure out how to work around third-party mods anyway. Besides, if you installed this kind of thing, you weren't concerned about updating later anyway, right? :P
