Dimitris Drandakis: Back in the late '00s, I worked as a software engineer in Athens – Greece. After 10 years in the field, I felt I was coming to a stand-still career so I decided to move to an Ionian Sea island, switching to the tourism industry. That proved to be a wise decision since the economic turbulence hit my country harder than all the rest and tourism was one of the few untouched industries. A few years later when software engineering knocked on my door again with Mediastalker, my heart beat strongly. I put on the CTO cap and the rest is history in the making.

Once upon a time, media content had a price. To consume it, you had to pay for it. Years passed, and with advances in technology along came digital piracy. The problem grew significantly with Internet making its way into everyone's home and then expanded exponentially when the same technology was made accessible from everyone's hands. Some media domains, such as live sports, only later began being exploited by modern day pirates.
