"Our experience is that it leads to more paying subs. I think you're right that Game of Thrones is the most pirated show in the world," he said. "That's better than an Emmy." - Time Warner CEO Jeff Bewkes
THAT is a step in the right direction.
- pyvpx 12y agoas a child of the early oughts, having the CEO of Time Warner extol about having the most pirated show in the world -- not to mention explicitly stating it leads to more subscribers -- is almost jaw dropping.

- allemagne 12y agoI think he meant it's a step in the right direction towards solving the technical problem of identifying who leaked the material. More generally he could have meant that tracking the leak is a step in the right direction towards HBO having control over when their material is released. Even in a fantasy world where all entertainment is free I think artists should have control over releasing their own work. In any case, I'm curious as to what the endgame is in the right direction you mentioned.
