Media outlets spent the past day or so trying to avoid broadcasting Game of Thrones*spoilers after the first episode of Season 6 debuted Sunday in the U.S., but it looks like we needn't have bothered. You've all already watched it.
In what's become a time ho**ured tradition, TorrentFreak reported (https://torrentfreak.com/game-of-thrones-season-6-premiere-triggers-piracy-craze-160425/) that yet again, Australians were among the most prolific pirates of the show's first episode on BitTorrent. Aussies made up*12.5 percent of those illegally torrenting the episode, it said, compared to 9.7 percent in India and 8.5 percent in the U.S.*
