Emilia Clarke, who plays Daenerys Targaryen, and Natalie Dormer, who plays Margaery Tyrell, were the most searched “Game of Thrones” names on the site.
The show as a whole ranked 7th in popular porn parody account searches with “Avengers” grabbing the No. 1 spot.
Rare reached out to Pornhub for a statement. Corey Price, VP of Pornhub has this to say about the situation,
“Pornhub is fully compliant with the law. We respect all copyright requests and once received immediately remove any infringing content, as well as offer content fingerprinting to block infringing content from being uploaded by content owners. We did receive DMCA requests from HBO and — like we do with all requests like this — removed those videos immediately .”
