House of the Dragon Episode 1 leaks on torrent sites, but where to watch it legally? | Digit

Calling Game of Thrones (GoT) a popular show would be an understatement. Save for a lackluster final season, the show had audiences across the globe hooked on to their seats for its family cum political drama, grand sets, mythical creatures, and a whole lot more. So, now that its prequel series (House of the Dragon aka HotD) is here, the GoT fans must be all excited to see what the showrunners have to offer in this prequel to A Song of Ice and Fire (the book series behind Game of Thrones) by George R. R. Martin. However, as it happens with most popular media on the internet, the first episode of HotD has leaked on torrent websites.

House of the Dragon episode 1 torrent download risks: Why should you not?

However, downloading House of the Dragon torrents isn’t ethical for one as it promotes piracy which is in a way theft of copyrighted content. It also comes with several other issues both morally and legally. Not to mention the risk of infecting your device with malware that may be part of some of these torrent files. 

So, we urge you not to download House of the Dragon from torrent sites. Instead, you can download and watch House of the Dragon legally on these websites (in some cases in better 4K quality):
