Fundamentally you're right, it's no different, but it is rather new considering this is one of the first times a government (to my knowledge) is regulating the use of a computer game and attempting to make a profit off of it. It says a lot about the people of the world, in a way. I suppose this is the first of many.
Ironically they're fighting for a chance to tax people who already want to escape from their country into one constructed out of their own imagination.
Amazing what people do with their free time. Why would anyone want to target a 'former government employee'?
Was it given to him by someone or did he download it unintentionally? Begs the question what kind of sites he's been looking at...
