ThereвЂ™s also some who just want the episode available digitally on their computers but still pay for HBO and buy the discs and international users who have different issues altogether. A good number of people said they never would have gotten into the show if they hadnвЂ™t pirated it first but actually wound up purchasing the DVD after the fact. Forbes pointed to a Game of Thrones reddit thread where users who have pirated the show, discussed why they did it. ItвЂ™s interesting to hear the types of reasoning people have for this type of behavior too. WeвЂ™ve heard a lot of people have been dropping cable in favor of things like Hulu but just because you choose not to access whatвЂ™s available to you doesnвЂ™t make stealing ok. People making the decision not to wait for the show to come to DVD or pay for the privilege to have it in their home. Should we be blaming them for people stealing their content? No. Would it be nice if HBO came up with a legal online viewing option for their networkвЂ™s properties? Something you didnвЂ™t actually have to have cable for but could pay to watch elsewhere? Yes.

вЂњItвЂ™s a very tricky game trying to create this kind of scarcity.вЂќ вЂњThis is absolutely a reaction to the showвЂ™s not being available elsewhere online,вЂќ said Robinson. вЂњThe show isnвЂ™t available through Hulu or Netflix, iTunes offers only Season 1, and using HBOвЂ™s own streaming site HBO Go requires a cable subscription.вЂќ

вЂњWhile Game of Thrones filesharing rates are probably driven in part by its appeal to the young, geeky male demographic thatвЂ™s most prone to using torrent sites, HBO hasnвЂ™t helped the problem by making the show tough to watch online for the young and cable-less,вЂќ writes Forbes. Forbes makes sure to note the sites they looked at arenвЂ™t the only illegal download spots and many are tougher to track. Last year, Game of Thrones came in second only to ShowtimeвЂ™s Dexter but this year they consistently have the lead.

вЂњThe fact that itвЂ™s consistently at the top of the Pirate BayвЂ™s top one hundred TV show chart seems like a pretty in-your-face leading indicator of the huge volume at which this is being shared,вЂќ he said. John Robinson, a senior media analyst for Big Champagne says itвЂ™s too early to tell but the popularity rankings on theВ download site Pirate Bay mean Game Of Thrones is a favorite. вЂњBy the firmвЂ™s rough estimate, the second season of the show has been downloaded more than 25 million times from public torrent trackers since it began in early April, and its piracy hit a new peak following April 30thвЂ™s episode, with more than 2.5 million downloads in a day.вЂќ

вЂњWith its popularity swelling and no easy way to watch for viewers without cable, HBOвЂ™s hit series Game of Thrones is inspiring massive levels of piracy, according to numbers from the BitTorrent-tracking and analysis firm Big Champagne,вЂќ writes Forbes. According to Forbes, HBOвЂ™s Game of Thrones Season 2 is going to be the most pirated show this year. Oh god, King Joffrey is going to be SO pissed about this.
