Insane laws!
 

In an unprecedented move considered by everyone to be absolutely insane, the Greek government has passed a law to ban all forms of computer games both in public and in private. The penalties for infringement are equally severe as the ban itself and anyone caught in the act risks a Fine of ?150,000 or 12 months imprisonment!

It is imperative that the gaming community in the free world shows solidarity with our fellow Greek gamers by signing the Online Petition set up by http://www.gameland.gr/index2.htm and lodging a formal complaint directly with the Greek Parliament via http://www.parliament.gr/english/contact/default.htm so that as much as possible can be done to defeat this ridiculous law which was highlighted recently by the BBC at http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/2238242.stm

why did they do that?

Coz no one was buying there Gyros (pronounced as Yee-rose)! :eek: :eek: :D

It was apparently a mistake - they should have imposed certain rules, but instead worded things wrong. Now you can't use any electronic games, including mobile phones!

signed the petition - let's hope they government are not stupid enough to try and front it out.
