They have already done that a few times, in at least one case Martin said the change they made was explicitly against his advice.

after all if they get him really riled he may just refuse to write more books.

Financially speaking, he would be the only one who would lose if he did that.

Martin has already given Benioff and Weiss the outcome of the story and the outline of how the story will get there. In some respects the two of them don't really need Martin anymore.

I wish they could stop him Killing off my favorite characters

But that is allegedly why everyone loves his stories.

oh didnt know they had gone against his advice sometimes. maybe it was a cinematic thing done for flow, technical reasons, made sense onscreen?, they seem to make good choices, and sometimes the dialogue seems straight from the page. But then I am not a book-first fan, when it comes to GOT I prefer the tv show, I find the books hard going and I gave up after the second one.
