The seventh season of the hit HBO show was illegally watched more than a billion times.
Beric Dondarrion treks beyond the wall with Jon Snow to capture a wight. By Travis M. Andrews Travis M. Andrews Pop culture reporter covering music, movies, TV, comedy and celebrity culture Email Bio Follow March 29 at 8:00 AM It’s simultaneously easier and more difficult than ever to watch your favorite TV shows. On one hand, it seems as if anything that’s ever been recorded is streaming. On the other hand, these shows are spread across myriad platforms, each requiring a subscription to access.
“Game of Thrones” wasn’t the most pirated show of last year, but that’s likely because it didn’t air any new episodes in 2018. According to TorrentFreak, that distinction belonged to “The Walking Dead,” followed by “The Flash.” It’s probable this will change soon, however, as HBO prepares to launch the final and most-anticipated season of “Game of Thrones” on April 14.
As the numbers show, these efforts haven’t been particularly effective. Common sense would suggest that the rise of streaming would help curb piracy, but it actually might have had the opposite effect.“Game of Thrones” is likely one of the final extremely popular shows in what’s come to be known as the Golden Age of Television — which began roughly with “The Sopranos” at the turn of the millennium. That age coincided with the rise of piracy.
That’s why Josh Randell, a resident of Corner Brook, N.L., pirated the show in 2017, despite receiving two warnings from HBO via his Internet service provider.
