20 Mind-Blowing Facts You Never Knew About Game Of Thrones

13. Game Of Thrones Is The Most Pirated TV Show

It should come as no surprise that a lot of people pirate Game Of Thrones. It's a massive TV show that manages to instil a real water-cooler mentality - once you're hooked you have to watch it straight away. But it's actually more than just something people like to watch illegally - it's become the most pirated TV show in the world, with Season 4 breaking numerous torrenting records. It's pretty understandable - to get Thrones legally viewers need to subscribe to a particular service (HBO in the US, Sky in the UK), which is a price hard to justify out of the love for one show. Unlike fellow high-brow TV drama purveyors, such as AMC, HBO have blocked any chance of it becoming available on Netflix, a service that is relatively cheap, for fear it'll cheapen the brand. Unless that stance changes, they can be certain the show will continue to be a pirate obsession.
