The fact that pirates were often able to see GoT episodes before regular viewers only increased the piracy figures. Keeping up with this trend, several episodes came out early this year as well, and even before the final, the plot was already out. This eventually led to the arrests of four people. In 2017 a Game of Thrones episode leaked with a “Star India” watermark. The most prominent one dates back to 2015 when the first four episodes leaked from a promotional screener.

Torrent sites used to be the main distribution platforms for pirated TV shows, but unauthorized streaming sites are much more popular today.

On pirate sites, there was plenty of interest as well. The official ratings shot through the roof, with 13.6 million US viewers during the official airing, which is also a new all-time record for an HBO show. While many people have been rather critical about the story-line of the final season, millions of people ‘tuned’ in, both through authorized and unofficial channels.
