Jeff Bleich, the U.S. Ambassador to Australia has made it his mission to stop 'Game of Thrones' piracy.
Coinciding with the annual UN World Book and Copyright Day, Bleich urged fans of the show to stop illegally downloading the show. He even went as far as to say that the huge amounts of piracy is "as epic and devious as the drama."

Aren't there worse things in this world that he should be concerned about. Especially since the creators and the producers have publicly stated that the Piracy is not really a concern.
What I find funny is that an ambassador of all people is concerned with Game of Thrones piracy. It sounds more like a desperate attempt at grabbing a headline than a genuine concern.
HBO and GoT don't care because free advertising costs nothing.
And nobody stole anything. It's 2013 and even the most basic of terms still aren't understood among politicians.

Guess it's pretty evident which "lobbies" are lining the pockets of people in government, huh? Could these morons be anymore transparent?
I've never seen the show, but maybe I'll check it out. I'll download it legally of course;)
The Ambassador in question is Jeffrey Bleich, who was a partner at the firm of Munger, Tolles & Olson (Entertainment Industry Lawyers), who represent Warner Home Video the studio behind Game of Thrones.
