    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.

  Now tv didn’t require a contract like that, in fact we just used a trial which they’re very generous on giving out to people multiple times. So when a site like that comes out we use a trial if there’s one available and then depending on the runtime we might only have to pay a month and it’s pretty cheap if you just get TV shows and not movies.

    Now TV is fucking awful though. They still think 1080p and surround sound are luxury optional extras.

    It’s basically just cybersquatting on shows so nobody else can have them, and remind you that you could watch them in decent quality if only you weren’t such a cheapskate and would subscribe to full Sky.

      I mean, doesn’t Netflix also charge extra for 1080p? Also I’m not a massive fan of Now, I only get it when there’s a show I really want to watch on it.

        Netflix also won’t serve 1080p if you are on PC. Even though you have specifically paid for 1080p or higher.

      Additionally, even though Fox sold their shares in Sky years ago, I still can’t divest them in my head from the Murdoch empire.
