The makers of Game of Thrones are taking action against Pornhub over breach of copyright
Pornhub traffic went crazy in lead up to series six premiere
THE creators of TV phenomenon Game of Thrones are taking action against Pornhub over breach of copyright.
HBO claims some scenes from the show have featured on the site - including parodies of porn stars pretending to be characters like Cersei Lannister and Lord Varys.
It follows a huge surge in Game of Thrones searches on Pornhub leading up to the new series première in April.
In fact the traffic peaked at 370 per cent on Sunday, April 24 in America.
In a statement, HBO said: "HBO is aware of the issue and is in the process of getting material taken down from Pornhub."

She had originally told GoT bosses she refused to do any nudity scenes, but revealed to the Sun on Sunday last month that she ditched the contract because it was "a real empowering, girl-power wow scene".
All she needed was "vodka and good lighting", she said.
She was closely followed by Natalie Dormer as Margaery Tyrell and Sibel Kekilli, who played a prostitute called Shae.
One of the most popular scene searches was 'Walk of Shame', which shows character Cersei forced to walk naked through the town as punishment for her sins.

Other television series searched before Game of Thrones included The Walking Dead and True Blood, the site said.
