MGR: Greece bans computer games.

According to this article, the Greek government has banned all
electronic and computer gaming of any kind, ostensibly as part of a
law to outlaw gambing machines - see this article -
http://news.com.com/2100-1040-956357.html

Not only does this mean that tourists risk heavy fines and even
imprisonment for playing something as innocuous as a gameboy,
presumably this makes it illegal to play in any Phoenyx PBeM from
Greece.

Is this likely to affect The Phoenyx in any way?  I don't currently
have any Greek players as far as I know; having a Greek player won't
break any US or UK law, but it might expose the poor player to the
risk of arrest and imprisonment, just for playing in a PBeM.
