Your argument seems to be "it can be done so it must be right" and you view the rights of those who want to view something over those who put their time and work into it. Why do you think people should not get paid for their work?

Game of Thrones is not "information". It is not a basic human right. "Humanity" is no better off if you can watch it now or in a weeks time.

GoT, for better or worse, is a massive part of contemporary popular culture. Why do you think people should not be allowed to pay for it just because of where they were born? It's like saying, "Here's what you are expected to talk about and experience, and you're not invited because you're Ukrainian/British/Egyptian/etc."
