Yeah I am not associating myself with that. The piracy angle, or those particular programmes?
Piracy of course.
Just checking. (sorry, was just the first thought that entered my head and it made me giggle)

#12The "recent tweets" widget shows people tweeting numbers like $10. Isn't HBO as an add-on to an existing cable subscription generally significantly more than that?
It costs $14.99/mo to add it to AT&T U-Verse if it isn't included in your package already.

#13I'd rather see people put their money where their mouth is, in a non-hypothetical way.
For example, pick some otherwise random date a few weeks after the DVD set will be released and organize a concerted buying effort amongst "pirates" on that specific date.

#14It's not pirating if you download Game of Thrones -- it's paying The Iron Price
Re: Take my money, HBO
#15I pay $30/month to watch Starcraft 2 tournaments on GomTV.net.
I pay $0/month to watch Game of Thrones, Veep, Girls, and True Blood. I will continue to pay $0 until there is an option that does not involve enriching evil cable executives.
Your move, HBO.

#16Have you guys thought about how many people are already paying for HBO ? Is HBO hurting for money?
Or is it just a bunch of geeks trying to get hbo for cheap? I know anti-piracy is not always popular but they are creating popular and original shows, why not support them?

$16.99/mo on Fios for HBO in FL if you don't the cable box/ cable card rental free required to access the encrypted channel.

Not significantly more, at the end of the day I'd have to guess HBO likely sees less than $10/sub.

#20This was a good write-up of an interview with the HBO co-CEO: http://dcurt.is/hbo-forbes-journalism
Worth reading before spouting the typical "I don't understand why HBO doesn't want my $5 a month."
