I was able to transfer my Brawl data to my friends WIi's as well as MKW. I haven't pirated ANYTHING yet.
A hypothesis of why some games can't be copied to the sd may be Licenses. Why do I think that? Because most of the games that can't be copied are games that have characters that are copyright or have a permission to be used in a specific game (brawl Sonic from Sega and Snake from Konami) maybe you can have them in your wii if you have the original game but can't distribute the save. Sometimes a company may have departments that have ownership of some characters or race tracks or soundtracks and you can't distribute such material as a whole without permissions. Another game I remember having the same problem is green day rock band. In this case Green Day is a Registered trademark of Reprise Records.
That's why I think, maybe the problem resides elsewhere and if someone have the real answer I would be glad to hear it.
