Hacking/Botting/Selling "Gold" Now Illegal in South Korea - RoboSkill - 2012-07-01

The Korean government has passed laws prohibiting the use of programs to illegally obtain in-game items and gold from online games, and the selling of these items and gold outside of the game.
This only applies to Korea, but it finally gives force of law to anti-hacking efforts. Now it =will= be illegal to sell hacking programs, hack the games and sell items for cash.
The law apparently goes into effect in July.
