That's not even the issue: justifying TV piracy is easy - "I'll buy the Blu-Ray when it comes out".

Which certainly seems fair enough - these things aren't just entertainment, they're culture. If you're a couple weeks behind GoT, chances are you're going to spoiled on it when some newspaper runs a damn headline about an episode.

For people in Australia, there is no other option: many shows simply never make it here. I remember trying to watch Battlestar Galactica on Channel 10 - by the end they really didn't care about that show, and by the time we got it season 2 was already starting in the US. They didn't pick it up.



What's worse is some damn "George Martin" guy published a whole bunch of Game of Thrones spoilers 15 years ago.
