No one knows this tale more than fans of Game of Thrones who, in pursuit of legal means of watching their favourite TV show, have unfortunately come up short. Complaints were hollered from every rooftop when the first season of the popular show of kings, queens and rightful heirs wasn’t available on disc for months, until a boxset was finally released just a few weeks before the premiere of the second season. Once again, those looking for a legal way to watch the latest episode of Game of Thrones, its season three premiere, are hard on their luck too. This is why many Game of Thrones fans have taken to illegal, piracy means. The season three premiere of Game of Thrones wasn’t available for viewing (legally) for a few days after it aired on American television and so many people pirated the episode that it broke piracy records. Piracy (specifically, ‘”torrenting”) works by connecting a ‘swarm’ network of people. One group of ‘leechers’ downloads the show from the source, while others, called ‘seeders’, upload the show en masse, directly to those who want it.
