Apparently if your Dad is the head of Warner Music Group, it's OK to download all the pirated music you want... He'll just give you a harsh talking to...
"We asked Edgar Bronfman, the head of the world’s fourth largest music company, at the Reuters Summit whether any of his seven kids stole music.
'I’m fairly certain that they have, and I’m fairly certain that they’ve suffered the consequences.'
....
“I explained to them what I believe is right, that the principle is that stealing music is stealing music. Frankly, right is right and wrong is wrong, particularly when a parent is talking to a child. A bright line around moral responsibility is very important. I can assure you they no longer do that.”'
Jeez, I'll take that any day over a lawsuit from the RIAA demanding $750 per song in restitution.
What a frickin' joke.

"Destroying the Earth is harder than you may have been led to believe.
You've seen the action movies where the bad guy threatens to destroy the Earth. You've heard people on the news claiming that the next nuclear war or cutting down rainforests or persisting in releasing hideous quantities of pollution into the atmosphere threatens to end the world.
Fools.
The Earth was built to last. It is a 4,550,000,000-year-old, 5,973,600,000,000,000,000,000-tonne ball of iron. It has taken more devastating asteroid hits in its lifetime than you've had hot dinners, and lo, it still orbits merrily."
............
Hit 'MORE'....
