Stupidity> No gambling in Internet cafes

An internet cafe in Örebro, smack in the middle of Sweden has had to close its doors due to a local court deciding they needed a license for gambling, The Register reports. The computers have occasionally been used for gambling, the local council argued, and must thus be regulated under strict Swedish law on the said pasttime.

This is just opening Pandora's box - what else springs to mind that would have to be regulated, or is illegal, and that public computers could be used for? Think the local council will have to remove computers from the local library while they're at it.
