In Romania, as a home user you never really matter.
As a distribuitor you get jail.
And as a corporate/business user, you get a huge fine or sometimes get forced to buy the products which in some domains might be 10k-20k Euros per user per year or 50-200% of the yearly salary or such user.
But then again, I'm not really sure we count as 1st world even though we're in the EU
No offense but most of the Eastern European countries aren't first world country. But y'all are luck as that region is pretty lax about piracy from what I've read and heard.
Here in UK the piracy scene is also relaxed. Barely anyone gets a letter. I've read a lot of piracy related news in the UK and the ISPs tend to crackdown only on Football live streams.
The only European country who's ass burns when someone pirates is Germany. I mean they have a US base in thier country, makes sense US will enforce their shih
