I couldn't help but make myself laugh when I read that they were demanding a ransom from HBO and I thought it would be awesome if HBOs CEO just made a statement "we do not kneel"

I don't like it. I think it is shitty.

Hopefully HBO tells them to go to hell.

Time Warner is a cesspool and is being absorbed by AT&T

I find myself rooting for them

So stupid, do the hackers seriously not realize leaking the episodes does almost nothing to viewership?

Sunday's episode was the most watched episode of the entire series with 10.17 million viewers.

At first I got excited by the hack thinking I would be able to watch a new GOT episode on Friday instead of Sunday but then I realized it was all just shitty low definition releases so I just waited till Sunday.

They are low life criminals. Pretty cut and dry.

Kinda torn..
I mean , I think someone stealing someone else's work is a dick move...

But then again.. each actor makes 2.5 million per episode..
So, I'm sure everyone at HBO it's totes sad.. wiping their tears away with money

Well, I mean, It's extortion, and these guys are d-bags. I'm sure they say they are "sticking it to the man" but this is all about financial compensation.

That being said, I did watch the leaked episode on Friday, but I also watched the premiere when it came out on Sunday. So HBO still got my ratings.

They're low-life pieces of shite.

HBO has been one of the bigger pricks in the whole DMCA wars. That obviously pisses off hackers. Not taking sides, but that's your explanation for the acrimony.
