I've been thinking about the potential impact of leaked episodes on HBO.
Unless it becomes a sustained leak, do you think that a significant number of people will stop (or fail to start) and HBO/HBO Now subscription? Sales for HBO itself are contacts through the cable companies, and those who have chosen to subscribe to HBO Now have decided that illegal downloading is inconvenient.
Edit: The standalone streaming service is HBO Now, not HBO Go.
- BurningFrog 9y agoI'd say one isolated leak like this mostly serves as PR. People see it and are reminded that they should watch this show that people are committing crimes to see!
- am1988 9y ago> those who have chosen to subscribe to HBOGo Are cable subscribers. HBO Now is the standalone. Anyway, piracy is about as convenient for something like GoT. The back catalogue is great though. I also pretty much stopped pirating because I have the money now, and the content is easy to get.
