HBO may not be too thrilled that it’s super popular series, Game of Thrones, is being live-streamed by Twitch streamers during the airing of episodes.
People can easily find episodes of Game of Thrones by browsing the platforms’s ‘Just Chatting’ category each Sunday night, according to The Verge.
This could become a major issue for Twitch as it has constantly had an issue with people streaming copyrighted content from shows, musicians, and other content creators, but HBO may not act too kindly when it comes to it’s treasured money-maker, Game of Thrones, which is in it’s 8th and final season.
Twitch mods have been shutting down the channels that they find streaming Game of Thrones, but streamers are staying ahead of them by constantly creating and evolving their descriptions to hide the fact they are streaming episodes.
Twitch may eventually land itself into some very hot water legally should they not come up with a more effective way to police and combat the poor practices.
