I downloaded a game off the VC and transfered it to my SD memory card, can I give my friend the SD card with the game on it and can he download it onto his own wii?

I am sure the answer is no. Downloaded games are somehow tied to the Wii that it was downloaded for. It will only work on that machine. At least that is the way it was explained to me, and it makes sense. Otherwise I could download a game for $10 and give to everyone I know who owns a Wii. Heck, I could even charge $1 a copy and make money out of it. I am sure Nintendo would never allow this to happen.

Yeah you're probably right, can you delete a VC game on your console and download it again or do you have to pay for it again?

Nintendo can transfer all the virtual stuff between your old and your new console
