‘Game of Thrones’ Season 8 Premiere Was Pirated 54 Million Times in a Day

According to digital-piracy analytics company Muso the season eight premiere of Game of Thrones was pirated 54 million times globally in a matter of 24 hours. The first episode, “Winterfell,” was seen by a combined total of 17.4 million viewers with repeat airings and some streaming services accounted when it premiered.

The episode was most pirated in India and China. Chinese censors cut six minutes of sex and death from the episode when it aired there, posing some angry fans to find the material online.

The first seven seasons of Game of Thrones have been among the most pirated TV shoes this month, likely due to viewers attempting to catch up for the new season.
