[Pokemon] If Pokemon can learn new moves by just "downloading" data onto them with a TM, what is to prevent illegal artificial enhancement?

Like, is there some sort of deep-web in the Pokemon universe where you can torrent illegal "hacked" TMs to download onto your Pokemon and artificially enhance them? What is to stop me from making my own TMs and inventing new moves? What's to stop me from using these "hacked" Pokemon in gym battles or tournaments? Is there any sort of law enforcement on this stuff?

TMs are artificial enhancement, and they're legal. There's no "illegal" enhancement, because it is already legal. And TMs are cheap, easy to find, and you can buy one and use it on as many pokemon as you like, for as long as you like. There might still be some people who derive some deviant glee from pirating TMs as a way to "stick it to the man", but it's not really a problem.

As for "inventing" new moves, or using "hacked" TMs to force a pokemon to learn a move it couldn't normally know, that's simply not how TMs work. A TM is a repository of knowledge you can use to teach a pokemon how to do a certain move, but it doesn't change what that pokemon is inherently capable of. Like, you could try using the TM for Fly on a Diglett, but it doesn't matter how hard you try or how you may have "hacked" it, No amount of practice or instruction is going to make that Diglett be able to fly.
