Exactly. They try to sell you their HBO Whatever thing, which isn&#x27;t even available outside of the US. The amount of revenue lost because of the unnecessary complex process is mind-boggling.<p>Also: It&#x27;s not that piracy is without hassles. The piracy-process could easily be outperformed by making it as simple as payment button in front of a media player or downloadable file.<p>Because when I want to download GoT as a torrent, I have to install a BitTorrent client, I have to go find the torrent files, I must look at ads for porn sites, I often must find the right download button in spammy-looking sites, I need to distinguish which file I actually want and see if it&#x27;s a fake or not.<p>The piracy process is difficult enough for most people, but it&#x27;s still so much easier than the process of watching the show legally.<p>I simply can&#x27;t wrap my head around this.
