In other words, piracy it’s good for good series and bad for mediocre shows since it drives advertising.

Why is that a bad thing again?

They just don’t want to go through HBO’s overpriced cable fees, considering it’s the only thing from their line-up they want to see, anyway. OTOH, I don’t think it helps niche shows in which there may not be an incentive to release on home video, if they tank in the ratings.
