::I think it should be okay to transfer the set around. You can use the TMDs to download encrypted game content with NUS Downloader, but you're still going to need a valid ticket to actually decrypt games and use them in Dolphin, for example. You can only get tickets by actually buying the game on the Wii Shop Channel. I doubt Nintendo's going to pursue it, and Nintendo would probably prefer people downloading them from elsewhere to people using up Nintendo's server time and bandwidth scraping for TMDs. In the meantime, I'll work on creating a list of my verified GameIDs on my User Page. - [[User:PowerKitten|PowerKitten]] ([[User talk:PowerKitten|talk]]) 02:26, 5 October 2017 (CEST)

Something else you may want to consider. There was once an effort a few years ago to populate GameIDs here based on the played game statistics that Dolphin automatically collects. I'm sure that those scripts still exist somewhere, so maybe they can be adapted and reused in this situation for mass addition of scraped IDs? I wasn't involved in that process at all, but it seems like a more reasonable approach than hand-editing in each ID individually. The places I'd ask about it would be [[User talk:mbc07]] since he's been a long time administrator, or on IRC channel #dolphin-emu @ irc.freenode.net. I'm sure if you explain what you're trying to do and your methodology on IRC someone should point you in the right direction. - [[User:Xerxes|Xerxes]] ([[User talk:Xerxes|talk]]) 13:26, 5 October 2017 (CEST)
