I'd like to point out that I can't buy HBO if I wanted to. And most of their shows just aren't shown here in Finland.

They claim to be putting a service out here in Finland, but that was supposed to happen a month or two ago, and all is silent on that front.

And really, do you actually want to punish your customers for really really wanting to see your shows despite being unable to buy them because you chose to not sell it to them?

I can't even begin to understand how that is supposed to be a good and sustainable business model.

(For the record, I have never actually pirated an HBO show. That I can remember right now at least.)
