If you look everywhere for a way to 'pay' to watch/buy the show, but you can't find anything, HBO technically doesn't lose any money if you download it illegally. If anything it is their fault for not offering a way for people to pay to watch it online.

I really don't understand the logic.
If HBO creates something shouldn't they be able to control how it is distributed. They have decided that a paid subscription model with the cable companies is the way they want to go. Maybe it is a terrible business decision but it should be their terrible business decision to make.
If the Louvre had a beautiful painting that could only be seen by people who show up in Paris and pay admission would it be the Louvre's fault if you broke in and took a picture to share with your friends.
