I'll borrow from my post on Page 2...Exactly, if tueidj decides to remove the AP, alright. If he won't, alright. His application, his choice. Giving reasons to remove it is okay, but actually making attempts at cracking it is just rude.
How can you call people trying to remove artificial limitations and add ability to something "rude", and yet here you are on a forum partially devoted to the development of software that is only possible because others broke past barriers that Nintendo decided to place in their product. You have a problem with the people who made it possible for tueidj to create this software, and for you to use it?Furthermore, discussing the bypass of verification to play backups isn't discussing "how to play wares", it's discussing "how to play backups" or "how to get the most out of this software". There's no reason to have that kind of cynical attitude, and even if it were true, hurting legitimate users to punish the pirates is not the proper action, it is not the right action. When a company like Nintendo places restrictions on their hardware and software, people decide that it has to be hacked to death to unlock further potential and ability, but when a hobby programmer releases something with arbitrary restrictions, suddenly it's ok to accept them? The only reason tueidj is able to do this for himself (it may be released to the public, but he doesn't have the public in mind) in the first place is because others decided to work around Nintendo's limiting restrictions.
And to those who say "use some other program then": if everybody had that attitude then there wouldn't be a Wii homebrew scene, there wouldn't be people pushing to get the most out of software and hardware; they would just move over to a more user-friendly product that already allowed them to do what they wish. That's a poor defeatist attitude to have.
