Well, the DLC was free to begin with, so it's hardly "piracy", but you forget the technical hurdles here. Not only will they need to reverse engineer up a local server that a DS or Wii can connect to, they'd need to somehow "pull" the DLC off of cartridges, and hope they can get a full accounting of all of it (such as in the case of Picross DS where you literally are unable to download ALL the DLC on one cart, it won't all fit). Again, more reverse engineering and it'd require a full community working together.
Frankly, the original XBox has been offline for years and I don't think they even have all THAT DLC (and patches) available to download somewhere. Odds are slim, it looks like some of this is destined to vanish forever.
So, here's the deal. I suggest this thread become a listing of "must have" digital download DSi and Wii games and DLC, so we can get them while the getting is good.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
