Aggregating blogs in Greece could get you arrested

Instapundit posts a link:

"The administrator of Blogme.gr, a Greek blog aggregation website had his house raided, his hard drive seized and was himself arrested by the Greek cybercrime division last week, after having been served with a libel lawsuit without prior notice, because a public figure was offended by a satirical blog that was linked to by his site.

The embarrasing part - this coincides with the Internet Governance Forum being hosted in Athens this week.

Greece loses an inch here. It's getting so the blogosphere can't have opinions. Dangerous stuff in these times.
