As you may have heard, Greece is having a spot of bother at the moment. Its economy shrank by 6.2% in the last three months alone, and the austerity measures imposed in return for international loans to keep the country running have contributed to a 40% jump in the suicide rate.
But the Greek music and audiovisual collecting society hasn’t let a little thing like a national meltdown prevent it from tackling the really serious problems in life — like stopping people sharing files online (Greek original):
The Court of First Instance Court in Athens accepted the request of the collecting society for music and audiovisual works to order, among other things, that the Greek ISPs should take technical measures to make it impossible for their subscribers to access Web sites through which illegal posting and exchange of works can take place.
Amidst the deepening Greek tragedy, it’s good to see someone offering a little comedy.
