Petrarca also made the observation that HBO has 26 million subscribers in the US and 60 million worldwide, so really, the cable channel's not doing too badly at all, despite last year's somewhat grim statistic.
First, that's a declining subscriber base for HBO. Secondly, things are ok for now. The entertainment industry's war on their customers has created an entire generation of people that both know how to pirate and are completely comfortable with. The only thing that might limit piracy growth is the shift from desktop to mobile devices using the cloud. Fewer home servers running around will probably mean less people doing P2P sharing.

Yes, but they are able to charge more to equalize things. That is due to the quality of their programming. Moral of the story, make good shows and people will pay to see them.
