Hopefully they'll pull the same stunt that Netflix did - where they were saying these things in order to not be liable.

If not, then they're retarded. They will only lose money, and those whose accounts will be terminated are going to go right back to pirating. HBO will only lose money if they terminate accounts...

I think they have to (say) do this as a face saving gesture after the first four episodes of Game of Thrones were leaked right when they were first launching their new service in Australia. It make them look really bad.

I agree with you that if they follow through with it they are forcing people back to piracy from being paying customers -- which is very, very stupid.
