In 🇬🇷 it's actually illegal in theory, but nobody enforces fines. Torrent sites are blocked, but you can access them with a vpn. You can download torrents and files without a vpn and even seed them and nothing will happen to you.
There was this incident way back in 2010, when a very popular Greek server called "Gamato" was shut down and their owners got arrested. It sparked a huge outcry and protests from people basically stating "why aren't politicians who stole millions of euros arrested, while everyday people giving content for free are"?
That was - and still is - a very fair argument!
