Game Of Thrones Season 6 Episode 5: The Door Gets Leaked Online Early By HBO

Tonight's episode of Game of Thrones, which is titled "The Door," leaked online "more than 24 hours before the episode was set to broadcast on HBO."

Who is to blame? This time, HBO has no one to blame but themselves. Fans of the show noticed that the episode was uploaded to HBO Nordic early and then it was quickly spread to all the major torrent sites. HBO quickly removed the episode from the site, but the damage has already done.

This is a major blow to the cable network, which has recently tried cracking down on illegal downloads by issuing copyright warnings, containing the IP addresses of suspected pirates, to internet service providers (ISPs).
