Widespread 'Blackout' Hits Movie and Series Piracy in Greece and Cyprus

Pirate networks for sharing movies and series in Greece and Cyprus are experiencing a widespread 'blackout', with dozens of platforms appearing and disappearing, changing names, and moving to new domains. Network administrators openly admit they cannot guarantee operation or user safety due to stricter legislation and technical interventions. The use of VPNs is no longer considered effective in avoiding consequences, as it indicates awareness of illegal activity. This phenomenon creates a rift in the perception of easy and risk-free piracy, pushing users towards a choice between legal access and risk.
