Altogether, they have reportedly obtained a total of 1.5 terabyte of data. HBO confirmed the intrusion in a statement sent to Variety: "HBO recently experienced a cyber incident, which resulted in the compromise of proprietary information. We immediately began investigating the incident and are working with law enforcement and outside cybersecurity firms.

    Amazon still doesn't sell files. To call them convenient is a joke. You can only run their player (the only player able to stream their stuff) on certain types of computers using special software. It's not standardized at all.

    Yes, Amazon is so inconvenient. I can only watch (and download) Amazon videos on my phone, my tablet, my Kindle Fire, my Fire TV stick, my Sony smart TV, my blu-ray player, my wife's iPad, my wife's Macbook, and my desktop PC. I should be able to watch Amazon on my smart fridge too(if I had one), dammit!
