Gaming banned in Greece

photty · 2002-09-01 09:36:04

I've seen this on a few sites now. It's supposed to cover ALL types of gaming from PC multiplayer to snake on yer mobile. How screwed up is that? Have they gone mental? Then again the greeks did jail a bunch of british plane spotters so anything goes out there i guess.

Subject: Greek court finds Government ban on electronic games unconstitutional

(Re: Pareas via Max, RISKS-22.23)

One of the advantages of Greek law is that every court (no just special ones
as in many countries) can decide on the constitutionality of a law. This has
it's own risks - inconveniences but, I am glad to report that in this case
it worked well. The stupid law banning electronic games has been found
unconstitutional by the court that was judging the "criminals".
