Because you could be sued for $1.5 million dollars by the recording industry like Jammie Thomas-Rasset was according to the Toronto Sun (http://www.torontosun.com/tech/news/2010/11/04/15967161.html).
In 2007, she became the first person to be sued by the RIAA for illegally downloaded music. She had hundreds of illegally downloaded songs on her hard drive and 24 of them were found to be in violation of the RIAA's copyright.
While each song would have cost about one dollar a piece to buy legally, she is being ordered to pay nearly $80,000 per song.

Nutella, a hazelnut chocolate spread, is not only delicious, but (at least somewhat) healthy for you. Here are two of my favorite nutella recipes that are easy to make (and super yummy!):
Nutella Self-Frosting Cupcakes

To make them even simpler, you could probably just buy cupcake mix and then add some nutella to the cupcakes on top.
Nutella Stuffed French Toast

As simple as making a nutella sandwich and then making french toast as you normally do.

I love watching TV shows on DVDs. Sometimes I just love spending a Sunday afternoon going through a box set of DVDs and drinking some coffee or tea, maybe spending some time with my friends, although it's a really great activity to just spend some time by yourself.
One of my favorites to watch is Everwood, which not many people have heard of. It's the story of a surgeon and his family who move to a small Colorado town after the death of his wife. It's really charming and has some really good messages (without being cheesy!--I promise), and it's really well written. It was canceled quite a few years ago (after it's fourth season) and even though the last season hasn't been released yet (the third was just released this summer after a lot of demand) it's definitely worth checking out and the first season can be bought really cheap.
Plus, after you fall in love with it, you can help support the cause to get them all on DVD.
What's your favorite old show to watch?

After serving 8 months in jail on gun charges, Lil Wayne has been released from Rikers Island jail according to The Daily Mail.
The rapper was photographed (and the photo was tweeted) sitting by an almost empty glass of cognac and a cigar in his mouth by DJ Scoob Doo, a member of his entourage. He is not seen drinking from the glass, however.
The rapper may not be out of trouble for long, however. His probabation states that he must 'may not consume or drink any substance containing alcohol' for the next three years. If he violates his probation, he could be sent back to jail to complete his sentence.
Do you think Weezy will manage to stay out of jail?

Dianna Agron (from Glee) has one of the coolest Tumblrs around. She'll post all sorts of interesting videos and unique playlists. She'll even occasionally post photos of the cast you won't see anywhere else other than there (http://felldowntherabbithole.tumblr.com/).
Recently, she posted a video made by Tim Burton about a little boy wishing he was like Vincent Price (narrated by Vincent Price), called Vincent.
Check it out, it's adorable!

If you love the hit TV show Glee, music, learning and volunteering, then you could enter to win a chance to do volunteer work with the cast of Glee!
You've probably seen the commercials during Glee advertising the Member's Project from American Express advertising a quiz to determine whether or not your "A Shue? or A Sue" like the character on Glee. (go here to check that out).
In addition to the quiz, you can also go to their Facebook page and register for a chance to make a difference alongside the Glee cast, helping "children from a disadvantaged Los Angeles area school that benefits from Education Through Music will go to the Paramount lot, where available Glee cast members and the sweepstakes winners will work hand in hand with kids to make home-made tambourines, egg shakers, jingle bells and more," as described on the website.
Overall, 10 grand prize winners will be flown to LA with one guest each to the event.
How do you volunteer your time to help others?
