“HBO is aggressively monitoring and pulling these copies from the internet. It appears to have originated from a distribution partner in the EMEA region.” “We are aware that the tenth episode of House of the Dragon has been posted on illegal torrent sites. Update: An HBO spokesperson sent us the following statement after publication. The company and its licensing partners will likely spend much of the weekend sending takedown requests but for HBO, most of the damage is already done. No matter what the source is, it will be hard to do anything about it now. We were not able to verify this information independently, but it could be a hint that there are links to Israel.
These original releases are typically shared on private servers, which act as central points before distribution groups start sharing them on pirate sites. In addition, a trusted source informs us that the original release came with Hebrew subtitles in a separate. The video comes in 25fps, which eliminates countries such as the US, Japan, and Brazil. The source of the leak remains unknown at the time of writing but there are some data points that may help to narrow things down.
Significant numbers of people will also watch the episode through pirate streaming sites, which will boost the numbers even further. It wouldn’t be a major surprise to see these download statistics exceed more than a million copies before Sunday. News of the leak is spreading quickly and tens of thousands of people have already grabbed an illicit copy. And today’s news certainly doesn’t hurt that ‘aspiration’.Ī few hours ago, copies of the tenth episode appeared on Usenet and pirate sites, two days before the general public will have access to it on legal platforms. At this rate, it’s on track to become the most pirated TV show of the year. In the weeks that followed “House of The Dragon” crushed “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” in the unofficial pirate download rankings. The show was also an instant success on pirate sites where, in true Game of Thrones spirit, it was leaked before the official premiere. Since then it has averaged dozens of millions of views per episode. The debut of HBO’s “ House of the Dragon” in August didn’t disappoint.
