Speaking as a Brit, the only way to get TLoU was to subscribe to Sky TV, which (as far as I’m aware) requires a 12 month contract. Fuck that, quite frankly.
So I took to the high seas because I could.
There's also Now TV, or NOW as it's called...err... now.
Amazon Prime is now charging to get rid of ads
Is that worldwide? I just assumed it was US only
Im in the US
/edit; Woops, meant to be a top-level comment, not a reply...
Monitoring torrents, especially public ones, is quite easy.
While the Brits commonly use fortnights and "next Tuesdays" the conversion to months isn't too complicated if you're used to it
I’ll see you next Tuesday, if you’d like.
They say it so much they even have an acronym for it.
I was hanging around Chelsea in my new West Ham soccer jersey trying to blend in, and every other person on the street was saying they hoped to see me next Tuesday. Even yelling it from across the street! They must have known I was American because they kept trying to talk to me about football, but they didn't seem to know any NFL teams.
The Brits really are on of the most polite nations.
