Court Allows Greek Gamers To Play On
from the good-start dept
Well, that certainly didn't take long. Not long after Greece put their no video games law in place, it seems that two internet cafe owners were arrested for breaking the law. However, just as quickly, a Greek court has thrown out the case, saying the law is unconstitutional. It sounds like the law shouldn't have a very long shelf life, at this rate.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

Lawmakers
"Nobody from the members of the parliament realized or could foresee the effects that this would have for PC games, Internet games and game consoles, simply because they are not familiar with that side of technology"
Nice that their lack of familiarity with what they were doing didn't slow them down any. In addition to lawmakers, we value that trait in brain surgeons, airline pilots, and explosives experts.
