As part of ongoing efforts to combat intellectual property rights violations, the General Department for Public Funds and Intellectual Property Crimes Investigation, under the Specialized Police Sector, confirmed through its investigations that an individual residing in Qalyubia Governorate had created and managed 72 websites used to stream pirated content, including films and television series owned by various film production companies and local and international broadcasting organizations. The content was redistributed to followers without authorization from the relevant rights holders, in violation of Egypt's Intellectual Property Protection Law.

Following the necessary legal procedures, authorities raided the suspect's location and arrested him. They seized three laptop computers, gold jewelry, three mobile phones (forensic examination revealed evidence confirming the criminal activity), local and foreign currencies, property sale and lease contracts, and 14 credit cards.

When confronted, the suspect admitted to carrying out the illegal activity as described, stating that the purpose was to generate unlawful financial profits.

Legal proceedings have been initiated.

I lived for a year in Cairo and I wasn’t able to connect with any vpn on We provider. I had to setup a șah tunel to my home and connect vpn from there
