Sure. Just click on the episode and then on one of the streaming sites. allmyvideos is the one I use the most. zalaa, uploadc, mightyupload, and bestreams are good too.
How is HBO losing money they don't depend on ad revenue. How many people are going to cancel their subscriptions because some episodes got leaked. I would say probably none. It's just creating more hype and they love that.
This will undoubtedly have an impact on viewing numbers and TV ratings. Less people will watch as those who download are now 4 episodes ahead.
HBO shouldn't care about ratings. They don't depend on ad revenue and commercials. No one will cancel their subscription because of this either. Sure their numbers will go down but it's not like they lost viewers.
then HBO would be the first TV network in history not to care about numbers... _________________ "Now, if life is coffee, then the jobs, money & position in society are the cups.

I meant it as in this situation. They are not losing viewers and episode 5 will go back to their amazing numbers and this will be forgotten. Obviously they should care about ratings, if a show starts performing badly and the reason is not a leak like this then it's because people don't want to watch it. But that's not the case here, actually quite the opposite.

How is it ruined?
on many levels. from a viewers point of view, people have seen the first 4-6 episodes ahead so I expect some content info will be leaked for sure, talk about ruining your viewing pleasure. it's hard enough to avoid spoilers without these kinds of things. I feel sorry for the people behind GoT, worked so hard to bring the best show on TV, only to be (bleep) by this leak. it's terrible.
it will also take some revenues out of HBO... I distinctly remember Rome... cut because of production costs... while GoT will probably not get axed, but it would be awful if its budget is constrained because of this...
I just hope the impatient ones here who watched the leaked episodes don't spoil it for those of us who are going to watch the actual broadcasts by discussing ahead.

The quality of the leaked episodes is not that great, but still watchable. I tried to resist watching them, but failed. Takes you all the way up to the second week of May.

That should be a multi-day ban if you ask me.
We will promise them a lenient suspension if they make a public confession and apology, and then we will change our minds and whack their heads off.
I really hope I don't run into any spoilers. This is one of those shows that just feels better to watch once a week and let it marinate for a few days. Lost, Fringe, and Breaking Bad were similar

Be careful with your beverages, my lords and lady.
seeing that unsullied guy cuddling with a prostitute has got to be the most bizarre scene in that episode. also, aren't there any people Dany can recruit to give her supernatural control over her dragons (so they're not useless, especially in the case of Drogon who is currently MIA)?

Dragons have been extinct for hundreds and hundreds of years. I doubt anyone knows how to control them.
The only spoiler I posted(which I blanked out) was for episode 1, about the Tyrion/Dany idea from Vayrs(spelling?).
I kind of regret watching all 4 episodes since I'll have to wait another month but at the same time, I usually re-watch the episode each week anyways so when eps 2,3,4 come on tv, I'll watch em again and be able to notice things I missed the first time around.
Game of Thrones and Breaking Bad are the only 2 shows I've done that with because of how detailed they are. Actually Boardwalk Empire and Homeland I would do it sometimes too. There's always gonna be things you miss with great television, or at least for me lol.

Season 4, Episode 10, last exchange between Bran and the Raven:
"I'll be able to walk again!"
"No, you shall never walk again...but you shall fly."

Rhaegal and Viserion were mighty pissed being chained up in the catacombs. It was kind of odd how much they had grown from last season. When we last saw the two dragons in the season four finale, they were the size of lions. Now they are the size of elephants. You gotta figure if the time lapse between seasons 4 and 5 was the amount of time it took Tyrion and Varys to sail from Kings Landing to Pentos, that was maybe a few months at most.
I'm finding Daenerys's storyline is getting boring again. That seems to happen when she's in one place too long just like when she spent the majority of season 2 in Qarth. I'm glad Tyrion will be along soon to liven it up. _________________ "Suck it up. Don't be a baby. Do your job." - Kobe Bryant

Dany continues to be one of the worst characters. She is sold as the altruistic, save the people leader, but is a petulant brat most of the time. Like her response to being given political advice, "I am not a politician, I am a queen".

And post their heads on poles in The Lounge for all to see of course.

That was a great scene. It made a great deal of sense that the poor eunuch would simply be desirous of some kind and gentle contact having been denied a childhood and having his sexuality literally ripped away from him. Then, to have the source of that very basic comfort be the source of his violent death, that was a great moment.
