I wouldn't pay a single cent to HBO.

I would, on the other hand, pay $40 via iTunes per season of Game of Thrones.

Networks are outdated. Stop trying to change them and adapt like the rest of us.

For an outdated network they sure have managed to create a product that is so awesome that sane, rationale people can't even wait to get it.

On the contrary, I would much rather pay HBO directly rather than go through Apple as an intermediary.

When you pay $40 to iTunes, where do you think a significant chunk of that money goes to? HBO produces the show. They aren't just the broadcaster.
