As i posted yesterday in a dif subject:

Today a Greek court decided that the two internet cafe owners who had been arrested for letting ppl play Counter-Strike and chess on their machines are innocent. The court also said that the famous law banning all games (including computer games) which the accused had broken is unconstitutional. That means that the law is suspended until it gets a revision. Although this doesn't mean that all our troubles are over yet, it is definetely a good start.

You can find more information in the BBC article although reports indicate that the ban was never taken seriously anyway.
