Italy\'s Example help at all?
 

My understanding is Italy turned a legislated ban into a regulate/tax situation in a matter of months.

Does anyone know how/why that happened, and could the same pressures be applied here?

I'm pretty sure Italy's ban broke EU trading rules. Also the "ban" didn't appear to have any effect on reducing the number of Italian players.

This looks like the best way that we all can lobby towards something positive
