Taking Things!

Last year I read about a woman from Minn. that she was sharing her downloaded music through a peer to peer network and got caught. Next time she should stick to YouTube.  But that’s only half the story. She decided to fight it in court, which she lost. Her fine was $222,000, based on 24 songs she violated their copyright’s.  She should’ve purchased a cd rack and those 24 cd’s to put on it. But no, she wanted to steal. But that case was set a side because the judge worded something wrong to the jury. Or she could have appealed the case, not sure. But regardless, she got another trial, which she lost again. But this time the jury awarded the recording companies $80,000 per song, which comes out to $1.92 million. The woman said she doesn’t have that amount of money and they will never see it, and that may be so. But here’s the kicker, the recording companies where willing to close the case with a $3,000 to $5,000 fine from the start of both trials. This hard headed woman clearly broke the law, but wants to fight anyway. She needs to settle with these companies. From what I read their still willing to settle for the $3,000 to $5,000 fine, she better take it.

Our Own Home

Thanks to Darwin Barton

It’s nice having a home of our own, finally, after so many years of living with my parents. When we first got married we didn’t have enough money to buy our own house so we decided to live in their basement to help save up money for a while…that was the best decision we ever made. I really was thankful when we went to buy a house and we could get more for our money than I thought we would have been able to get. I’ve been working on things like Reliant Rates for the energy and getting the right paint colors for all the rooms and now that we’re expecting our first baby I’ve been thinking a lot about the nursery, too! I love that there are so many options now that we own this house and we don’t have to ask anyone’s permission to do anything to this place. I love my parents but it’s also really nice being out from underneath their roof for once!

Planning A Party!

Any of you planning for an up coming Holiday party? If so you’re behind, you better get going and get your Holiday Party Invitations out. You should already have all your invitations mailed, or ready to go. You should already have your party planned out. If not there’s still some time for that, you might even find a few good deals online. For my wife and I we had everything ordered and ready to go months before. Having done everything over time for us really reduced any problems we ran into on the way. And hiring a planning is a good idea as well, worked for us. We however didn’t have to pay for one, a friend took care of it for us. Good luck to all!

Touch Sale!

I came across a site today that is offering a ipod touch sale online. They also sell other related products that you just might want to take a look at. From what I’ve seen their prices seem to be fair. If you have a teenager, or maybe for yourself, you might want to check them out. With the power of the internet you can order today and have your stuff in a few days. Now I never purchased anything from them so research them before you buy from them.
