Although according to reports the legal viewership of the premier was three times less than the pirated one.

About 10 million of those pirated views were only reported from India where the only source to watch the first episode of GoT is Hotstar, on which it’s available only to the premium users.

On the other hand it was surprising that US stood third in pirating GoT and China stood second on the ground.

Meanwhile, the second episode of the Season 8 of Game of Thrones will release on 21, April 2019.
