The site in question, P2Planet.net, launched in 2011 and shut down in 2014. Despite struggles with hosting costs and repeated DDoS attacks targeting Greek P2P sites, the community managed to attract over 44,000 registered members. The site’s torrent tracker hosted 14,000 torrents, mostly offering films, TV series, music, and software.

According to the ruling, P2Planet was eventually shut down by local law enforcement. Authorities raided the home of the person they identified as the private tracker’s administrator, arrested him, and seized a hard drive for forensic investigation.
