Greece Approves Legal Framework to ‘Fine’ Pirate IPTV Users, Ramps Up Blocking

A recent legislative amendment empowers authorities to impose administrative fines on individuals accessing illegal IPTV services, with penalties starting at €750 for home users and escalating for public or commercial violations. While this framework aims to deter piracy, identifying individual subscribers remains a significant enforcement challenge.
