(http://www.gameland.gr/lawenglish.htm being the link referred to in
the original post, for those, like me, who had forgotten what the hell
we were on about here.)

The Greeks don't want online casinos. So they've banned Space Invaders.
If that's not absurd, I have a bridge to sell you across the Thames in
London. Very good price.

(Unless I've misunderstood. Have I misunderstood? I hope I've misunderstood.
I want to have misunderstood. But I don't think I've misunderstood.)

Ah, come on. Banning all arcade games because you want to ban gambling
games? Why, that's like banning all file sharing because you want to
ban file sharing of copyrighted materi...

Oh.

Shit.

Cheers,

Wane
