Is homebrewing a 3DS illegal?

Modding a 3DS to run homebrew (unofficial apps/games) isn't inherently illegal in itself, as you own the device, but it treads a legal gray area and risks bans from online services; however, downloading copyrighted games without paying (piracy) is definitely illegal, and homebrew makes piracy easy, making Nintendo potentially issue bans for such activities. The modding itself is generally seen as okay for custom themes, emulators, or region-free play, but using it to get free games crosses the line into piracy, which is illegal.
