Revealed: Top 10 most pirated TV shows on the internet in 2016
For several years in a row Game of Thrones has been the most pirated TV-show on the internet, and this year is no exception. According to piracy tracking site, TorrentFreak, the HBO series was the most downloaded television show of 2016.
After the Season six finale appeared online, around 350,000 people shared the episode across several torrents. AMC’s, The Walking Dead, was the second-most illegally downloaded show, while HBO’s newest hit, Westworld, snagged the third spot.
It was reported earlier this month that Amazon’s, The Grand Tour, had stolen the crown from Game of Thrones, but the show actually crossed the line in tenth place.
