"It's possible they are wrong, but if they are wrong they will be the ones suffering the consequences."
You can't have it both ways.
My opinion: there's no way to know if they are right or wrong. I'm one of their new potential customers of HBO Go only. I pirated a bunch of HBO shows only because it was the only way for me to see them. I would have paid $10-15/mo to see them. I do, after all, want these shows I like to be successful and to make many more seasons.
- nirvdrum 14y agoWell, you could buy HBO through a cable provider, unless it's just completely not available in your country. In that case, it's extremely unlikely they'll offer Web access in your country either. So, really, you have another way, it's just not the way you want. Likewise, they release all their shows on DVD, Blu-Ray, etc. But, I suppose those aren't released when you want them to be. If you're interested in financially supporting your programming, I guess those would be the ways to legitimately do it.
- dkl 14y agoThat would make HBO close to $100/mo! Not a very good deal. My way to help the producers of content is to buy DVD's, etc from their websites.
