title: *sell (yes, it was a typo)

Link.

Tbh, looks like Hackmii Installer/BannerBomb, DVDx, USB Loader, Bootmii and Preloader. With Ocarina and some emulators thrown in there too...apparently for $29.95

This needs shutting down, I hope noone has actually bought from them.

these assholes keep popping up like flies, it doesn't matter how many get shut down, another asshole takes his place... i'm starting to think there'll never truly be gone

I wish there was a forum on that site, or something, so we could at least tell people its all BS directly on the BS site

what we need is some1 who knows what they're doing, to get this fucking site (and all those like it) taken DOWN by any means necessary, legal or otherwise... if I was a real hacker (which i'm not, and i don't consider hacking the wii makes me a real hacker) I would try overloading his site and make sure it stays down... where's giantpune or some other evil genius when u need him... take this asshole down!!!

I don't agree with this crap but I think they're only selling a tutorial video. Not the actual brew. I kinda feel like anyone naive enough to pay for this, deserves to be ripped off (and banished from internetz)

Old news. These scammers need to get a life.

I did a write up on the package and it's contents here if you're interested in what they're actually selling. 3rd post down: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=198...7&st=0&

They claim this according to their "disclaimer" at the bottom of the page.

Either way, it's illegal because they bundled the hackmii installer and IOSes in the ZIPs that come with it.

what a coincidence... this douchebag is from scottsdale arizona just like the other one. it looks like he got enough money to register this one under a business name instead of his own name like he did the last one i saw.

http://whois.domaintools.com/myhomebreware.com

im gonna start making all my apps not work for people in scottsdale, az and anywhere within 30 miles of rockton Il. if this affects you, and you care about it at all, you can go to the address listed for this asshat and bitch at him.

This kind of stuff really pisses me off... they charge as if they were installing THEIR software. They should charge less and say in their page that everything they install is free (and link to the pages where people could get them), and that they're charging only for the actual installation process. They still get money, and they do so without lying or breaking copyright!

EDIT: Oh wait the guy sells a DIY intruction manual, he doesn't install stuff. THAT is lame.

I KNOW YOU are lurking out there and most likely mocking us in your posts. I know I have spoken with YOU before, but I have not figured it out yet. I will only have confirmation when I break into your house and steal your computers and beer. At that point I will start a vigilante renascence group with torches and pitchforks and an attitude that by looks could kill even the already ugliest of stupid bitches. By the time we leave, there will be nothing left but the blazing fury of my hell that I left behind. Thank you.

But that's beside the point. That's uh... some strong words, at a minimum.

Well, I'll fix it.

Well, there a slight bit of comic humor, but you have to understand, it is fucking wrong. Out of what the strongest people in this community do for free and someone just leeches off of it, thats just cruelly wrong.

Absolutely. And that's what's wrong with piracy as well- except the devs actually get paid for it. But to distance myself from that and stay on-track, I'll stick with the notion that selling people's work for free is terrible.

And on a side note, I firmly believe that hacking someone's Wii for a price is different than selling the tools for a price. Not that it's been brought up or anything, nor does it pertain to the topic, but it's worth mentioning.

I don' think there is anything wrong with charging people to mod theirs wiis via craigslist of whatever but selling others peoples work isn't right at all.I mod wiis and have done ads on craigslist but all they are paying me for is to install the mods not the software or any games or anything.I also keep backups of every nand if its able to be installed as boot2.I also offer them support anytime they have questions or problems.I have never had someone complain about anything I've done and most of the time they refer their friends and family to me.

I've seen this guys ad for some time now and it just bugs the shit outta me what he charges.

Feel free to mess with him.

The site the OP is talking about i see it posted on craigslist all the time.
At least i think it's the same one i tried looking on craigslist and couldn't find the ad again because it usually gets flagged pretty quick.

There was no "prices are rape" flag, so I flagged it for "prohibited"
