How in the heck do you copy wii games? I spent almost a month looking for the answer to this question. What I finally found out what that it is most definitely possible. Then, after I copied a few games, I started getting worried. I wondered "What does the law say about copying Wii games?"
Well, it turns out that it is absolutely legal to copy video games. That's the short answer at least. The long answer is that "it depends on what you're copying them for".
There has been a lot of debate in recent years, but the answer is found in the Fair Use Act, which in a nutshell says that persons are able to rip, copy, burn, backup, or whatever you want to call it, if you are the purchaser of the original disc.
This encompasses movies, games, and music and any other kinds of media. In fact, it is suggested that persons copy media, as soon as possible after purchasing it. By this, you can be sure that a backup exists in the event the original is stolen, damaged, or lost.
You cannot be arrested, fined, imprisoned, tortured, or executed for learning how to copy wii games. The feds can't even make funny faces at you. So most consumer rights advocates are urging people to backup all digital media that they own, including games, and to utilize the copies for daily use - putting the originals up for safe keeping.
Let's address the 800 pound gorilla in the room though, before we end. Anyone who's ever tried to copy a game knows that it's not as simple as it sounds. You have to get past the heavy encryption that is put on the discs.
Game manufacturers can't legally stop you from copying games, but they can make it exceedingly difficult (my Mexican friends would say "Mas Dificil!"). The game companies do this so that you can't buy a copy of the latest Mario game and burn 100 copies to sell to all of your friends and close relations.
It's just as much within your rights, as a consumer, to remove the encryption on these games as it is for the manufacturers to put the encryption on them. Luckily, there are a couple of great software companies that have invented 1 click software to remove the encryption. With a second click, they'll also go ahead and burn them for you.
Best wishes in your efforts! P.S. - Search google for "copy wii games" and you should find the software that need.
