But the Homebrew channel endorses piracy
Not necessarily, There are a few basic homebrew apps that aren't pirated or refer to piracy, If they talked about the Backup Loader on Yahoo, then it'd be an issue.

Utilize the homebrew channel: This one takes a little bit more trickery than the others. Using your copy of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, you can install a freeware "homebrew" channel that allows you to run unofficial software on your Nintendo Wii. There are
emulators, games, media players, and more—the potential is limitless. However, the legality of this is hotly debated, and your warranty may be voided, so proceed with caution.
