Nintendo takes console hack site to court
GameInformer reports Nintendo itself announced the suit, which was filed in Florida.
The site allegedly modifies Wii hardware to enable use with pirated software; sells DS devices like the famous R4 for the creation and use of unauthorised software; and vends unauthorised copes of games.
It’s also said to be introducing a device enabling pirated software on the 3DS.
Nintendo is one of the more active platform holders when it comes to lawsuits and has been particularly firm on the topic of piracy. It regularly advocates for stricter legislation against piracy. The DS is one of the most frequently exploited devices in the world in terms of copied software.

AffirmanceShadowBoltDashieVampiric Are Nintendo mad cus the site actually makes their consoles fun?
In my opinion, I feel it's more of a thing to get some quick money. Just what I think the true reason behind Nintendo suing the website.
Exactly what I was thinking. I totally agree, they most probably want more money, that's all..
I was thinking the exact same :S Maybe they need money?
But still, like Microsoft takings JTAGs to court..
All Wii want, is money, money and money..

Why do they even waste their time on these things like this, it just makes them look stupid because you don't have companies like Sony and Microsoft trying to shut down these websites.

KatsumiShadowBoltDashiePinballs You could probably hack a nintendo product with a paper clip
I've never been successful in trying it on the Wii ._. Then again I was younger when I tried that xD
It's not too hard to hack now, Around 2 years ago i couldn't hack it either due to inexperience
I don't own a Wii anymore, or at least one that I can find. If I find my console at random I may give it another go just to see what I can do.
