The arrest followed an official complaint by the Hellenic Society for the Protection of Intellectual Property (AEPI), which claimed that the website allowed users to illegaly watch and download copyrighted movies and television series.  

The website also hosted links to other Internet sites with similar content, deemed illegal. Subscribers could increase their access to content, by offering ‘donations’ through the PayPal web payment service.
  
Police searched the man’s house and confiscated a computer hard-drive disc, which was then sent to a crime lab for further examination. The arrested man was led to the Athens District Court prosecutor’s office.
