Recently it turned out the HBO’s TV series broke another record:  the third season premier collected 6.7 million viewers on BitTorrent.   <img src="http://torrentfreak.com/images/game-of-thrones3.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Indeed,  it took just a few hours for the first episode of season 3 to leak  online, with people going completely berserk about it – this was quite  an expected reaction, as Game of Thrones claimed the “most pirated show”  title back in 2012. It seems that the wait was too intense, with the first episode being  downloaded 1 million times and accounting for an absolutely impressive  number of seeders – 163,088. This makes it a new record on BitTorrent’s  networks. If you take a look over the location of those seeds, you’ll  see that Game of Thrones is particularly popular in the United States,  the United Kingdom and Australia. Such numbers would scare any Hollywood studio to hell, but HBO’s staff  isn’t worried. HBO programming president sees it as a compliment of  sorts – it shows the demand, and certainly doesn’t negatively impact the  DVD sales. In the meanwhile, an Australian pay-per-view TV company  Foxtel has recently announced that it will soon air episodes of 40  popular TV series, including Game of Thrones and Mad Men, within mere  hours of their premieres in the United States. The company believes that  the strategy is quite simple – you deliver the best TV to the audience  once it becomes available. This is why closing the window between  American or British premiere dates and Australian ones is Foxtel’s  priority. So, Game of Thrones will also be aired just 2 hours after the United  States, while Mad Men is expected to have a 4 hour delay. Another  popular series, True Blood, is going to be aired in the same day as the  United States. The hope is that the strategy will make people choose a  legal way of watching their favourite TV shows. Actually, this strategy  proved to be quite successful – for instance, this season of The Walking  Dead aired only 33 hours after US transmission and has attracted larger  audiences to Foxtel. George R. R. Martin, the author of the books “Game of Thrones”, said  that it is the most pirated TV show throughout the globe, and a lot of  it is coming from Australia. The reason is that the show delayed for six  months there – of course, people won’t wait for that long when they can  download it illegally and enjoy right now. <img src="http://i1102.photobucket.com/albums/g451/mihicherub/GameofThrones_zps889f74ef.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Game of Thrones S03E04 <a href="http://extratorrent.com/download/3048556/Game+of+Thrones+S03E04+HDTV+x264-EVOLVE%5Bettv%5D.torrent" target="_blank">Download</a> Thanks to TorrentFreak for the source of the article et.com </blockquote>
