In a country where they have men in white vans driving through the street checking for people who might be running a tv without a licence, i'm not surprised that big brother is watching what you do on the internet too.

Wow! This kind of thing is getting a little ridiculous...

Next thing you know they will be arresting people for playing a game where there is virtual violence...a.k.a. Star Wars: Galaxies, EverQuest, EverQuest 2, World of Warcraft, Anarchy Online, Vanguard: Saga of Heroes, Guildwars, Planetside, Age of Conan, City of Heroes, City of Villains, Dark Age of Camelot, Darkfall, Dungeons & Dragons Online, EVE, Warhammer Online, etc...
