“According to Time Warner CEO Alan Bewkes the ‘piracy’ buzz around Game of Thrones is a good thing, so good that it’s better than an entertainment industry award. The firm was talking about its latest financial results when it was asked about the so-called ‘piracy’ problem. ‘I have to admit it, I think you’re right. The much discussed fantasy series is HBO’s most popular TV show, and if you go to people who are watching it without subs, it’s a tremendous word of mouth thing,’ he said, according to the Game of Thrones website White Harbour. In April, HBO programming chief Michael Lombardo said that ‘piracy’ should be taken as a compliment.”
