Greece was amongst the top countries where fans of the hugely successful Game of Thrones series rushed to download the first four leaked episodes of the new season.

News that the first four episodes of the fifth season were available in pirated form over the Internet caused millions of fans to use their PCs to watch the versions.

The infamous torrent site The Pirate Bay was taken offline on Tuesday after a raid by Swedish police, reports The Verge.

Officers investigating the decade-old file-sharing portal's alleged copyright infringements targeted a server room in Stockholm, seizing "several servers and computers," according to veteran file-sharing case prosecutor Fredrik Ingblad.
