Oh, so you get to decide what HBO charges for its shows now because 20$ is what you want to pay for a full season of Game of Thrones? Believe it or not, HBO is expensive because of the extremely high quality of its programming. You don't get to say "this is how much I'll pay or I'll be pirating your shows. Yo ho ho!". It's such an immature mentality to presume that the 2$ you so generously agree to pay for each episode (the same price as a network show like Whitney) is a selfless, noble act on your part.

The truth is premium cable like HBO is because they are premium, don't blame them for wanting to recoup their expenses by charging more than standard TV.
