I too have been following this thread and cannot find what your talking about. I haven't been here too long, but show us the proof.
In reference to the bricking Nintendo could possibly do, its not legal for them to outright make your machine a paper weight. People have the right to put a modchip in their Wii. They will just lose the warranty on the system, meaning you are no longer protected by Nintendo for a repair. If Nintendo were to wipeout everyone's machine, they can be sued and will be, I am pretty sure, especially in America where people sue for the most ridiculous. Once the machine is bought, it becomes property of the owner, and the owner can do as they wish with machine. People have provided many examples using examples such as cars. It's like buying a new PC and putting your own Video Card in (or adding something) and the company that originally produced the PC, says you can't use that product in our system, so guess what, we send you a virus over the internet that will cause the Video Card to malfunction and stop working completely.
They cannot do that. Nintendo has the right to stop modchips by upgrading firmware with codes that can disable a modchip or AR. They cannot destroy so that it becomes unusable. For example someone you bought a PIC as a modchip, Nintendo cannot destroy it, they have every right to remove the PIC and use it for something else.
