HBO puts their shows on iTunes as one off downloads a couple months after premiere. If you aren't willing to wait that long you should be willing to pay full price to subscribe.

HBO now is an acceptable service. One pirates demanded for years. The lack of which they used to justify piracy. And now I see pirates have now decided it's too much. Let's face it, your piracy is due to be cheap ass.

You've constructed a nice straw man. "pirates* demand for years" "pirates have decided" Pirates* and pirates are likely different groups.

Arrr, but ye shall remember...pirates will be pirates matey!!

Maybe the price is still too high, especially if you only watch a couple of shows/movies.
