Zelda hacker arrested by police in Japan for selling modified Breath of the Wild save data

Did you miss what we were talking about? Apparently so. Here's what we're talking about:

Unfair Competition Prevention Act in Japan, certain gaming-related activities and services have now been declared illegal. This includes:
- Distribution of tools and programs for modifying game saves
- Selling product keys and serials online without the software maker's permission
- Game save and console modding services

Is the middle one IP law? Sure. The other two are unquestionably anti-consumer bullshit. If I buy something, it's mine and I can do whatever I want with it. If I want to modify my game save, a company telling me I can't save my game a way they don't like is absolutely anti-consumer bullshit.

What the fuck are you even talking about.
