Funny thing about the video's thumbnail implying that a modded Wii is somehow illegal. lol Modding it and playing things on it isn't in any way shape or form illegal. Never has been. It IS illegal to play pirated games. But on that same note? It is NOT illegal to play backups OR downloads of games you own, which is helpful to those hardcore collectors since this fact works out for ANY system. This has been a basic fact in emulation for damned near 30 years now despite Nintendo trying to say otherwise. lol

Actually you're wrong. Modding a Wii IS actually illegal. You are confusing this with the basic concept of emulation itself which is not illegal, but yes, modding, jailbreaking or any other way of modding a video game system IS actually both illegal and a direct violation of the console's terms of service that YOU agree to when purchasing one. You seem to have gotten your facts mixed up. Modding consoles in itself is illegal. And specifically what he's also talking about in the video... it is HIGHLY illegal to SELL one. Which is what any used game store would be in direct violation for when selling this used console. So, the video is correct and you are not.
