If it will help piracy in any way is not clear, but you could use a Linux based Torrent client to download isos from the net. And You can play backup Linux games using WiiLi by using an external USB storage device, like a thumb drive or external HD. Linux is already running on the Nintendo DS. There is a plan to use the WiFi compatibility of both Wii and DS so you can use your Nintendo DS as an input device for WiiLi. I do need to clarify you won't be able to run Linux at the Wii Launch, but it won't take as long as it took the gamecube hackers to get Linux running, that's for certain."

It was started as college project to make more and more people aware of the alternative of using the Linux operating system. WiiLi is a live Linux CD / DVD that makes the Nintendo Wii console boot a full Linux OS Desktop hopefully without the need of a modchip or hardware modification.
