HBO accidentally aires upcoming Episode 6 of Game of Thrones; now it’s all over the Internet.

A couple of days ago, authorities in India arrested four people involved in uploading GOT’s episode 4 of season 7 before it was officially aired. For now, there hasn’t been any comment from HBO, and we feel sorry for the network for whatever is happening to it.
