S07 Premiere Numbers Are In...

Game of Thrones was the dubious holder of several piracy records already, but it topped itself with last week's Season 7 premier.

Data from piracy monitoring firm MUSO indicates the show was pirated a whopping 90 million times in just three days, reports TorrentFreak. Most of those views came via unauthorized streaming services. Full downloads of the show via torrent sites came in at less than 10%.

Still, securing hard numbers for illicit streaming sites is notoriously difficult, since (not surprisingly) they don't advertise their total viewership numbers. MUSO did not shed light on how it arrived at its total in that category, which it estimated at 77,913,032/

15 million of the pirated streams and downloads took place in the U.S. The U.K. was the second most active region, with 6.2 million unauthorized views.

MUSO reports that Game of Thrones season 7’s opener was pirated 91.74 million times. With 77.91 million streams of the first episode, streaming by far was the most popular way of accessing the season premiere. Torrenting nabbed the second spot with 8.36 million downloads and streams while downloading held on to third place with 4.95 million.

“There is no denying that these figures are huge, perhaps 5-10 times more than what we would have expected. So these figures likely to raise more than a few eyebrows, but they need to be looked at objectively. What we’re seeing here isn’t just P2P torrent downloads but unauthorised streams and every type of piracy around the premiere. This is the total audience picture, which often goes unreported,” says MUSO CEO Andy Chatterley.

I remind everyone that discussion regarding torrenting is against ZB rules, so let us not touch on it should you have done so yourself. I'm merely posting these figures to show how popular the series is as those are some massively staggering numbers.

I think it's fair to say this is the BIGGEST thing on 'television' around the world :xd:
