“ For the millions of Americans who don’t subscribe to HBO, or who may not even watch shows on a television, this means there is no legal way to watch Game of Thrones. If you only watch TV on your laptop, there’s no way you’re going to pay $50/month for cable and another $15/month for HBO. ”
Whilst I’m usually the first to criticise the big copyright holders for their short-sighted and counterproductive attitudes towards the internet1, statements like this drive me crazy. Yes there is a legal way for Americans to watch Games of Thrones. The legal way is to pay for cable and for HBO. “I don’t want to pay $65 a month” is NOT THE SAME AS “it is illegal.”

For example, I would spend more money renting/buying movies on my Apple TV if the selection available weren’t so derisory. ↩
