Right around now is where we should mention piracy. "Game of Thrones" remains one of the most pirated shows on the airwaves. But even that fact doesn't make a significant dent in income — at least, not on the subscriber side, and not in the long term. Engadget
"We've been dealing with this for 20, 30 years — people sharing [subscriptions], running wires down the backs of apartment buildings," Time Warner CEO Jeff Bewkes told AdWeek in August. "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." Adweek
Doesnt really matter if Time warner is making billions or losing money.. If you like it enough you should pay for it. I understand maybe pirating something to see if you like it but after that you should support the things you like.
