The Greek parliament wanted to ban electronic gambling, but tech-ignorant legislators wrote a bill that banned all electronic games instead, even offline chess in the privacy of your own home. A Greek court has now overturned the ban as unconstitutional. (PS: The U.S. Congress wanted to ban copyright infringement on electronic content, but tech-ignorant legislators wrote a bill that banned all circumvention instead, even circumvention for fair use. What the U.S. needs is a Greek court.)

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
