Default OT-Game playing illegal in Greece

I Can't believe what I just read on CNET.com. Since July it is illegal to own computer games, Game Boy machines, or play games on-line in Greece. The law was passed because: 1. Greece has a problem with gambling games and 2. It is too hard for the Greek authorities to tell if a game is a gambling game. Penalties are a fine of from $5,000 to $75,000 and/or jail time of from 1 to 12 months, and you can't play games in jail.

I can see this happening in the US in about 12 months.
