As long as HBO can keep its subscriber base and fund the show as well as profit I doubt they care too much about people downloading their shows. If they weren't a subscription channel they couldn't make the shows they do make because of the rules on USTV, but because they are a premium subscription channel it encourages people who cant or wont pay to steal.
