I first read GoT in 1996... and since then i've encouraged everyone i know (and who likes to read fantasy) to read the books. I have bought every book in the series (some twice). I collect the comicbooks both HC and TP, I have the table top game (both editions) with all expansions, I have all the books with Dunk and Egg stories... including the comic books. I make sure to have a new ASOIAF calender on my wall every january first. I have bought both series on DVD.

I live in sweden where i eventually will see the series for free (well, paid by taxes, wich i pay) on SVT1 a swedish public service chanel.

Yes i download the series one day after it airs in the states... so in many peoples opinion... im a freeloader.

Money, I have paid and will keep paying (books, comicbooks, games, dvd-boxes).
The series, I will still see it for "free" so whats the harm in me wanting to see it a bit earlier since you already got loads of money from me... not to mention the others I by word of mouth got to read the books before the series ever aired.

So keep sighing Georgie... but this "freeloader" will keep throwing money your way.
