Game of Thrones The Most Pirated TV Show of the Season

TheGift73 sends this excerpt from TorrentFreak: "With nearly 4 million downloads per episode, the HBO hit series Game of Thrones is the most pirated TV-show of the season. Worldwide hype combined with restricted availability are the key ingredients for the staggering number of unauthorized downloads. How I Met Your Mother and The Big Bang Theory complete the top three, albeit with significantly fewer downloads than the chart topper. ... While there are many reasons for people to download TV-shows through BitTorrent, airing delays and HBO's choice not to make it widely available online are two of the top reasons."

At least, according to a collegue of mine. He gets soooo chuffing annoyed by the number of ads he's willing to wait a day for something he could watch when it's broadcast, just to get the ads removed for him.

Your inability to actually comment on substance, and typical whiney ad hominem (the perpetual tactic of the entitlement-minded complainer addressing someone who identifies them as such) just shows that I'm exactly right. Hit a nerve, huh Coward? Yup.
