there is precedence against this, by the simple fact that any game with an uncensor patch has the mosaic above the art, and not affecting the art itself. Also, 3D games or 3D movies put that filter on. usually genitals are fully modeled. they apply a mosaic filter, or sometimes just put a black texture over it. I genuinely think he could have gotten away with doing what he was already doing.
As has been said by others, most uncensor patches do just swap out image/patch image files. As to what you're saying about 3D games - this is
kind-of true. In all the games I've seen, the 3D models probnably aren't detailed enough to fall foul of the censorship laws in the first place, and the mosaic filter hides the lack of detail. However, lots of people have different definitions for what 'fully modelled' means, so this is not intended to contradict what you've said.
There may also actually be a legal gray area for 3D games, which is that the Japanese law is against "obscene documents, drawings or other objects". There could be an argument that the object being distributed, a nude 3D model, isn't obscene in and of itself, which might be enough for some people to try this (i.e. it only becomes obscene when combined with other objects or animation instructions). However, I doubt such a loophole would apply to the assets in this game.
