HBO obviously isn’t happy that so many people illegally downloaded episodes one to four of the new season of Game of Thrones. The company has sent out thousands of warnings to Internet users involved in sharing the torrents — although there will be no legal repercussions this time around.

As TorrentFreak reports, the takedown notices have been issued through HBO’s anti-piracy partner IP-Echelon. They instruct ISPs to identify the IP addresses associated with the infringements and pass on a warning about repeated violations of their terms of service — ultimately users could be cut off, but that would be down to the Internet Service Provider.
These DCMA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) notices are nothing particularly new, but they might make some users think twice before pirating material again — that is, if the alerts ever reach them. It’s estimated that the leaked episodes, copied from a review screener, were downloaded millions of times before the season five premiere last Sunday.

One way in which HBO is hoping to combat illegal downloads is by making the show more accessible through authorized means — hence the launch of HBO Now, the firm’s standalone online streaming service.

AdvertisingAccording to the report, just hours after the launch of the Season 7 premiere, HBO’s anti-piracy monitoring partner IP Echelon had started to send thousands of warning letters to those caught pirating the show through torrents. The warning letters are pretty standard in terms of their content, which reads (in part), “We have information leading us to believe that the IP address xx.xxx.xxx.xx was used to download or share Game of Thrones without authorization.”
However it seems that due to copyright law, ISPs are not obligated to forward these emails to their users, although there are many who do out of courtesy to these rightsholders. Whether or not legal action will be taken remains to be seen, especially since the number of pirates spread out across various torrent websites and networks is probably too many to try and take to court at once.

Not to mention they would not know who is actually the pirate, since they can only track the IP address which could be shared by multiple users at home. However this doesn’t make it right, but we reckon that HBO has an obligation to try and curb as much of it as possible.
