lol wut I'm sure nintendo is aware that VC games can be pirated, That is simply what they say it is a reimbursement for those who paid $5 for the IC because they ultimately decided to make it free

I think it is also a lure to let people know how easy it is to buy a game in the Shop Channel, so to get people buy stuff in the Shop Channel.
I think it is similar to the free samples of food you can get at the market, something like that.

Well, you can Update the WiiShop-Channel using WiiSCU http://wiibrew.org/wiki/WiiSCU (http://wiibrew.org/wiki/WiiSCU)
So i had no need to update the entire Wii, to use the newer Shop-Channel.
