With people throughout the world quarantining during the COVID-19 pandemic, those with more time on their hands than usual have taken to catching up on TV they’d been meaning to get around to.
Since not everybody has access to streaming services and pay cable channels such as HBO, some are turning to piracy in order to watch.
