U.S Android device owners are the lucky people who are granted full access to the Google Play experience,

Games & Apps, as well cloud-based content such as Music, Books, Magazines, Movies and TV Shows.

Unfortunately, those of outside the U.S. with the exception of games and apps, this cloud-based content is officially available only for U.S. users, leaving the rest of the world in the dark.
Until now, that is.
As anyone will tell you, the best thing about the Android OS and the ecosystem around it is that there is a workaround for basically anything you can imagine. So, enter XDA Forums senior member kishankpadivar has just posted a walkthrough on how to enable access to all of the content on Google Play even if you live outside the US.
