I just read
this article regarding a US politico and his comments on the record amounts of torrent piracy that GoT has instilled. I found this excerpt quite funny:
Taking a page from Bleich’s book, however, the Underwire staff decided to imagine how other Game of Thrones characters would feel about torrenting Game of Thrones:
Ned Stark: Waits for the DVD, and grimaces quietly as everyone who downloaded it spoils all the twists on Twitter.
Littlefinger: Pirates it, sells bootleg DVDs, and then publicly tut tuts about the evils of illegal downloading.
Jon Snow: Insists that he doesn’t watch it or care about the show but secretly reads summaries on Wikipedia.
Salladhor Saan: Pirates it, obviously.
Davos: Used to pirate, but got slapped on the wrist with an RIAA “copyright alert letter†and is now on the straight and narrow.
Robb Stark: Watched a pirated version at a friend’s house by accident and then felt so guilty he pre-ordered all the DVDs AND subscribed to HBO.
Melisandre: Doesn’t watch the show. She’s read the books, so she’s already knows what’s going to happen anyway. Or so she thinks.
Theon Greyjoy: Pirates it, but has to pay the Iron Price: seeding long enough to get his share ratio to 1:1. House Greyjoy: WE DO NOT SUBSCRIBE.
