One day HBO will change their distribution method and I will probably line up to buy it. But I will not spend over $50/month just to get HBO in HD (as I don't have cable now) and I have no desire to buy their DVD's just so I can watch something once, a year later with everyone else already done and possible spoilers already been given.

I'm sure HBO knows this too, they know they will change one day, but that day isn't now. They clearly see this as more profitable but to suggest they aren't looking long term and coming up with strategies for "cord cutters" would be ridiculous.
