You’d think HBO would be pleased as pigs in poop that The Sopranos is so popular. You’d think that HBO would be wildly ecstatic that folks have to have their weekly Sopranos fix. You’d think they’d be having screaming orgasms that folks are so interested in their show that local bars and restaurants flip the channel to HBO on Sundaywhile it’s on.
They’re screaming all right. Bizarrely enough, though, they’re screaming cease-and-desist.
What a bunch of maroons.

Just like the recording industry, they will never get it.
Does HBO really think people who love this show will say “Hey, I can spend an hour in a smoky, uncomfortable bar and watch it” instead of paying the $10 to get it at home?
I agree, they just don’t get it.
When I first heard about this last week, I just shook my head. It’s ludicrous to expect this to happen. What about bars who use PPV for big fights? As Seki says, they will never get it.
