Greece Gaming & Court
by Steve Gibson, Sep 10, 2002 1:03pm PDTA few days back we had a story about some crazy law passed in Greece that pretty much outlawed all electronic gaming. That one pretty much boggled everyone, well here's some follow-up. According to BBC (Thanks Mick) a court has just ordered a case thrown out against two internet cafe owners who were accused of breaking that new law. This of course contradicts the law passed and puts the "courts on a collision course with the state"
Legislation passed in July banned people from playing video games in public places like internet cafes as part of a drive to stamp out illegal gambling. The law has been criticised for not making a distinction between interactive gambling and computer games. The court, in its ruling, said the law was unconstitutional.
