Ah okay, thanks. I wasn't aware that HBO didn't care if people share their accounts. It is against their terms of use even if they aren't taking action against it.

Why should you pay a train ticket if your brother, who is at home, has a pass?

Haha this was the worst analogy I've seen to promote copywrighted media sharing.
I was trying to say you should or shouldn't use your parents HBO Go account. I'm just saying that if you feel guilty about download HBO content via torrent, you shouldn't feel like you're making a noble leap into lawfulness by downloading HBO content via someone else's HBO login. If you want to feel good about getting content, buy it.

He wasn't promoting it. He was asking me a rhetorical question, to argue that HBO GO should be paid for...at least that's how I read it

I think he'd burn her right the fuck on up. It is the Iron price for the Iron Throne!
Show Stannis would at least. Sure he loves his daughter. He loves being king more. If she were his son he'd send her right the fuck into battle and not blink. Maybe book Stannis is a little more nuanced, but I sorta doubt it. It's his daughter. He'd blink, but do it.
The cooter monster. The leechblood of kings. Mel's direct explanation for arguing Ser Stubbyfingers be pardoned. Mel taking the the crazy stannis-wife into her confidence. It all points to an understanding that even Stannis may balk at this sacrifice, but a manipulation to ensure that he doesn't.
It doesn't even matter who kills the girl, or if the girl even dies. If he balks at all Stannis is undone by his own zealotry. Mel understands that trap.
She should, she's been the entire storyline in laying it.

He's let Davos live after going against him multiple times, to the point that he put him in the dungeons, why do people think he's just going to flash fry lil' Patchface? The fact he was willing to go to war his brother, who was a usurper, is not an indication he's going to burn his baby girl. I think it's far far more likely his zealot wife agrees to toast her and Stannis refuses.

Well, I dunno if he's been all that merciful to Davos.
His reward for keeping Stannis alive was half his hand chopped off. And he got tossed into the dungeons because Stannis didn't want to kill him, but Stannis was GOING to kill him... he was just taking his sweet fucking time rationalizing the decision. He really only had that most recent sentence commuted on the urging of Mel.
Show Stannis is Justice without Compassion. It's not all that complex. He really might be more nuanced in the books. I would hope so.
When God tells you to put Isaac on the altar and cut his throat... you put Isaac on the altar and you cut his fucking throat. You can take a while to think about it, but that's what you do.

I pay for my parents cable and internet and the log in for HBO is the same for xfinity. Basically you log into hbo through your provider.

At the very least it's cheap advertising.
If you reservedly endorse it at the very least you break even. You're not encouraging anyone to do something they weren't going to do anyway. If you waste your time in RIAA style bullshit you're actively losing money.
The surprising thing is that a CEO seems to not have his head completely up his own ass! Thumbs high to that dude.

Yeah. There's a reason the RIAA and MPAA backed off trying to enforce copyright law, and they're a faceless organization for most people. HBO is a real company trying to sell itself. There's no upside to coming down on HBO Go users for now.
Stannis is one of my fav characters because yes, on the outside he is the cold, inflexible "justice without compassion" type clich? you see in some fantasy novels, but on the inside he is the man on fire as seen in Dany's vision. He is absolutely consumed by ambition. He gave up his religion, his relationship with his wife, allies, family and honor (when he became a kin slayer) all the things he sets aside in to reach his goal. Those are the things Davos has fought for him to keep, but in reality, Stannis left them behind through deeds if not with words. He loves his daughter but I don't doubt a couple of events and yeah, he would sacrifice her willingly.
