So, I've been downloading movies and music for years now, everything was going fine. I only shared my library with people that I was DL'ing from. Very cool. I've been trying to download the entire 'Rolling Stone Top 500 Songs of all-time' and I was about half way done.
Today I go out to my mailbox to find an envelope with a distinct 'RIAA' letterhead on it. I flipped **** and opened it up to find a pretty harsh letter from the RIAA guy, basically telling me that they are going to sue me (I have about 5,000 mp3s on my computer and about 100 movies). I called up my mom and my mom got scared she said your moving in with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air. I whisted for a cab and when it came near the license plate said fresh and had dice in the mirror, if anything i could say that this cab was rare, but i thought nah, forget it, yo home to bel-air!
I-pulled- up to a house about seven or eight, I yelled to the cabbie yo home, smell you later, looked at my kingdom i was finally there, to sit on my throne as the prince of bel-air.
Ha J/K I buy all my digital media, for some reason I like to keep stuff. I just had to buy a third bookshelf yesterday as a mater of fact to put all my books on. This post is the results of procrastination.

Ok the first paragraph and part of the second was understandable. Then you kinda veered off the road a bit and hit a tree with some type of "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" reference.
If you *really* are being sued by the RIAA that sucks--but there has been a fair amount of media coverage about it and they've been prosecuting people for some time. Get a lawyer--or get your Mom to get one.

That’s not just a Fresh Prince of Bel-Air reference, it’s a fairly accurate quote of most of the intro song from the later episodes, when they dropped the part on the airplane (“First class, yo this is bad / Drinkin’ orange juice out of a champagne glass / Is this what the people of Bel-Air live like? / Hmm... this might be all right”).
Yes, I watched that show enough that I still know the song by heart. It was a great show when you were 13.

Great. Another smartass that used the Fresh Prince song towards the end of the post.
Not. Original.

Ugh. Looks like a case of copy, paste. 
Seriously people, you do realize that most of us also surf the internet right? Right?
At least give credit where credit is due.

You've just violated the copyright held by the publisher of "Prince of Bel-Air" by posting the lyrics online without the paid consent of the copyright holder. You will be receiving a court summons in the mail. Good day.

Watch out for your auntie's butler. He has attitude.
And buy REAL furniture, not that particle board crapola. Trust me. No Ikea, no Wal-Mart, no Home Depot crap-real wood. You'll thank me later, when your shelves don't collapse due to humidity.
