Data published by piracy monitoring firm MUSO suggests that the seventh season of Game of Thrones was pirated more than one billion times. Most of the traffic was generated by unauthorized streaming services, with torrent and direct downloads accounting for just a small piece of the pie, roughly fifteen percent.

Up until 3 September, its report claims episode one had been watched illegally more than 187 million times and the finale more than 143 million.

The company said the total for the seven episodes is 1,029,787,668.The vast majority of the pirate ‘views’ came from streaming services (85%), followed by torrents (9%) and direct downloads (6%). Private torrent trackers are at the bottom with less than one percent.

The UK is second only to the US in terms of piracy rates, where there is now a maximum sentence of 10 years imprisonment for people found guilty of copyright infringement.

Despite these sanctions, piracy levels are continuing to grow.
