Penalties for piracy and downloading files in Spain: the law and the closure of sites.

Piracy has been a common practice on the Internet almost since the Internet has been in people's homes. Piracy is generally understood as obtaining a product without paying for it, whether it is a TV series, song, book, or viewing paid content through unofficial channels that allow free access to that product.

The creators and copyright holders of these works have been trying for years to fight this practice, which prevents them from receiving millions of euros in copyright. There are many penalties for piracy and their motives.
