  30,000 euros?! MGMT must be the lamest band ever. I'd have demanded three hours alone with Alizee!

  "No word on whether or not this counts towards the number of strikes on Sarkozy's internet connection."
  
  Oh this is an easy one: He's a rich, powerful politician. OF COURSE the law doesnt apply to him, or at the least will never be enforced against him. Laws are only for little people.

  For 30k I could probably buy every song (DRM free) I ever wanted. Idiot.
