The “Game of Thrones” Season 3 finale is reportedly on its way to becoming the most illegally downloaded TV episode in history.
TorrentFreak reports that with more than 170,000 BitTorrent users simultaneously sharing the episode after it aired Sunday night on HBO – and with well over one million downloads in under 24 hours — the latest “Game of Thrones” has beaten previous television piracy records.
