Personally, I have been somewhat stunned about the incredibly vitriolic reaction which so many readers have responded with, after our article yesterday reporting that Australia, on a per-capita basis, pirates Game of Thrones more than any country in the world, despite the fact that it’s now available locally cheaply and quickly. “Is there some sort of internet freetard math I’m unaware of that lets the producers of GoT spend millions of actual dollars making the show while you suck it down off the intertubes for free because somehow the ‘exposure’ will put enough money in their bank accounts to pay for all the writers and actors and camera guys and set designers and costume makers and caterers and editors and special effects dudes and CGI mavens and musicians and lighting and sound techs and drivers and so on whatever and ever amen?” That’s why we’re so impressed with this somewhat sarcastic post from him this morning ( we recommend you click here for the full post) with respect to the Game of Thrones piracy issue. Birmingham - whose blog is named ‘Blunt Instrument’ for a reason - has a rather uncanny knack for putting his finger squarely in the sore spot of public opinion. Blog We’re huge fans of the Fairfax blog of author, writer and all-round rabble-rouder John Birmingham.
