#2>1. Electromagnetic records that do not operate in accordance with other persons' intention, or gives unauthorized commands which act against their intention, when another person uses a computer.
This makes most software I use punishable by Japanese law.

Heh, yeah. There's no way a programmer can account for user intent, that is, each and every single user's intent. I can't say how many times I've clicked something thinking it would do something else only to be disappointed.

#5Sadder yet is that modern browsers let you disable these sort of dialogs. I know Firefox does it, I assume Chrome does as well. Wondering what the browser landscape looks like in Japan if it was serious enough to mandate police force?

#6Just to remind you all, this is coming from a country whose cybersecurity minister claims to have "never touched a PC in his life".

#7It will be interesting to see if this is prosecuted. The percentage of prosecuted cases in Japan is much lower than in many other countries. Unless the reporting has got something wrong (always a possibility!) it doesn't seem to get over the bar for quality as I understand it (which, to be fair, is not very well).

I had a good chuckle at that, I have not seen one of those ads in many years, I swear it was 90% of the ads in the early 2000's but maybe I don't go on the same kind of sites anymore. I know Newgrounds had some of the sketchiest ads when you think about the age of most people going on that site.

That is the point. The Japanese approach to creating legal documents is to make them as ambiguous as possible so that they can be interpreted any way the creator likes. This is somewhat true of overbroad legislation in other jurisdictions as well. The authors of the legislation don't want to create a fair and empirical test, what they want is the discretion to arrest anyone they feel has crossed a subjective line.

IE is still the second-most common browser with 14% of the market after Chrome with 58%
