Someone in this house is a dumbass

sniffnoySo, we got a letter from Comcast the other day. These are only ever one of a few things: Bills, advertisements, or, as in this case, letters informing us that someone in the house has been caught torrenting copyrighted material and asking us not to do that.
Fortunately we don't get so many of these -- not enough that they're actually going to cut off our internet or anything. Maybe about 1 per semester. Used to be a much bigger problem before I was here, though; apparently it's the reason why, not too long before I moved it, we started using Comcast in the first place (we got in trouble with our previous ISP).
Anyway. Whenever one of these comes up, naturally there is the question, what was it? Usually it's nothing interesting, but the other year there was a case of Scooby Doo porn.
So what was it this time? Game of Thrones. Even though we have HBO -- on demand, even. (It's not that expensive when you're splitting the cost 50 ways.) Even though this should be well-known to anyone living here seeing as so many people gather around the TV for it every Sunday.
I can't say that there's no reason to do this, but, still: Dumbass move.
EDIT: Holy hell, today we got a second one. For the next goddamn episode. This is ridiculous. As they say: Once is happenstance; twice is you're a dumbass.
