At this rate, it\u2019s on track to become the most pirated TV show of the year. And today\u2019s news certainly doesn\u2019t hurt that \u2018aspiration\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>A few hours ago, copies of the tenth episode appeared on Usenet and pirate sites, two days before the general public will have access to it on legal platforms. News of the leak is spreading quickly and tens of thousands of people have already grabbed an illicit copy.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><center><strong>House.Of.The.Dragon.S01E10.1080p.WEB-DL.H.264<\/strong><\/center><br \/><center><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cryptocabaret.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/hotd-leak.png\" alt=\"hotd\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-225779\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cryptocabaret.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/hotd-leak.png 960w, https:\/\/torrentfreak.com\/images\/hotd-leak-18x10.png 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\"><\/center><\/p>\n<p>It wouldn\u2019t be a major surprise to see these download statistics exceed more than a million copies before Sunday. Significant numbers of people will also watch the episode through pirate streaming sites, which will boost the numbers even further.<\/p>\n<p>The source of the leak remains unknown at the time of writing but there are some data points that may help to narrow things down. The video comes in 25fps, which eliminates countries such as the US, Japan, and Brazil. <\/p>\n<p>In addition, a trusted source informs us that the original release came with Hebrew subtitles in a separate .srt file. These original releases are typically shared on private servers, which act as central points before distribution groups start sharing them on pirate sites.<\/p>\n<p>We were not able to verify this information independently, but it could be a hint that there are links to Israel. <\/p>\n<p>No matter what the source is, it will be hard to do anything about it now. The company and its licensing partners will likely spend much of the weekend sending takedown requests but for HBO, most of the damage is already done.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014<\/p>\n<p><em>This is a breaking news story.
