These are the countries where it is forbidden to download pirated torrent files and impose a fine for that .. You know if your country exists

 Torrent downloading is so popular around the world that many users use it to access the copyrighted content, while others use it to create torrent files to share content through P2P. However, torrenting to download protected content is illegal in some countries, and a new map shows that very clearly.

It is important to clarify that the map may contain some errors, but at least it allows us to easily understand what the situation is regarding piracy around the world. For example, as we will see later, Italy is among the countries that "turn off torrent web pages", while Spain is shown in green. However, the situation in both countries is identical: websites are closed, but torrent sharing subject to copyright is not penalized or fined. The orange countries have a fine and it is the one that should be taken into consideration the most.

The American continent 

As in the map, the situation in America is quite homogeneous, although we also found a slight mistake on the map, because in Canada, anti-piracy associations also block websites. Generally speaking, no country imposes fines or condemns piracy by users except in the United States, where production companies monitor the IP addresses of those who share the content and then send them a message to stop the piracy, although no actual fine is imposed. . However, it is best to protect yourself with a VPN in the US to avoid potential concerns.

Africa

The map looks at only two countries in Africa: Egypt and South Africa. There are no problems in Egypt, while in South Africa they block sites, but they don't like piracy.

Asian continent 

In Asia and Oceania, where countries such as China, Russia, and Australia block download sites, although in China they are not suitable for downloading or sharing. Japan is the only country among the countries analyzed that legally prosecutes piracy through torrenting, although it does not apply to it due to a small legal void. Hence, it is necessary for the claim to show that the user was aware that downloading the torrent was illegal and thus downloading it so that he could be sued for it.

European continent

Among the countries analyzed on the map, only Spain, Switzerland and Poland allow you to download the protected material without any restrictions as long as it is for personal use. In countries like Slovenia, Romania or the Czech Republic, they turn a blind eye without resorting to legal prosecution.

However, in France, Germany, the United Kingdom or Finland, it is prohibited to share copyrighted content, as carrying out this activity is considered a fine. In these countries, it is essential to use a VPN so as not to leak data to prevent authorities from identifying users.
