Why Does Japan Get All The Good Stuff?

Stupid Japanese and their cool toys...

Anyway, has anyone heard about this 19-year-old girl from Virginia that was arrested for recording 20 seconds of "Transformers" on her phone?

I personally think this is crazy, but I know other people would have a different view. She could go to jail for up to one year and have to pay a pretty big fine for wanting to show her little brother a clip from the movie. I know this 'crackdown' on piracy is a huge thing for studios and theaters, but come on. There's a line when it comes to someone who is actually recording a movie for internet distribution and someone who, for one second, made a small mistake.

She says she forgot it was wrong. And I believe her, because I've had that moment before. There was this time in high school when I totally forgot I was taking a test once and asked the person next to me for help on a question. Of course the teacher reamed me for it, but later that person I asked for help told me she was about to help me out because she'd forgotten as well. It happens. That's all I'm saying. And movie studios and movie theaters are insane. (But we all knew that already, didn't we?)

In other news, Baylor started back this week. I believe we're the only university in the entire United States to start back this week. Or, at least that's what it feels like, because everyone I know that goes to another school (including elementary thru high school) starts this upcoming week. Stupid Baylor.

And it's not like we get out any earlier. But they're a private school, which translates into "they can do whatever they want." *glares*

I wish I had a funny cartoon or something to share with you...but I don't. So you have to deal with that. ...And I have to...go...place.

Later.
