Wii homebrew for sale (Copyright? What's that?) - Image 1Team Twiizers has a new post up on hackmii, exposing some services that provide homebrew packages and guides. marcan specifically names HomebreWare, but doesn't cite the other one to avoid giving them more traffic.

It's a long and informative post, but in a nutshell, the marcan wants you to know that these "guides" violate copyright after copyright, and you're being ripped off if you buy them, and if you're a Wiibrew dev, you should take action against them as well.

marcan elaborates on the issue point-by-point, singling out several of the licenses HomebreWare violated (from Wiibrew devs and Nintendo alike), and the erroneous information they spread (like "No it can't [brick your console]").

The matter is a bit too complex for me to attempt to summarize sufficiently here, but you can follow the source link below for the complete post. You should read the comments section of marcan's post as well. The owner of HomebreWare has several responses to marcan, even promising to revise the entire guide.
