Default Gaming banned in Greece - 09-04-2002, 08:58 AM

Man, check this out...I saw it on a Friday The 13th board. Apparently it's shockingly true. Smells like fascism to me...

Gaming banned in Greece

A law meant to punish gambling establishments also bans video games.

The Greek parliament has voted in a new law that effectively bans all forms of gaming, including console, PC, handheld, and cell phone games, in both public and private areas. The law was originally meant to punish gambling establishments, but the law's broad language actually encompasses all forms of electronic gaming. Those caught breaking the law can face up to three months of jail time and a 5,000 euro fine, while repeat offenders can face up to a year in prison and a 50,000 to 75,000 euro fine. Currently, two Internet café owners are scheduled to stand trial on September 10 in a ThessalonÃ*ki court for allowing computer games in their establishments.

Isn't that SCREWED UP?!?! oOo:
