I would just like to record for posterity, via this permanent medium that is the internet [1], that every single MP3 file residing in my iTunes library is either a legitimate rip from a CD that I physically own, or an authorized download from the artist's own site.
Does this mean I win some kind of prize?
Cheers!

[1] Little known fact: the internet is carved in stone.
Every time Google scans a page, a team of dedicated Italian artisans carve a detailed graphic representation of it onto a tablet of the finest Carrera marble. These tablets are then stored, like headstones, in a vast underground complex resembling a huge graveyard just outside the Poughkeepsie city limits.
These thousands of acres of headstones are patrolled by an army of highly trained Rhesus monkeys equipped with wi-fi laptops. Every time Google receives a page request, the monkeys locate the relevant tablet, re-code the html on the fly and upload the page for viewing in your browser.
Now, I know exactly what you're thinking, my friends. You're thinking: "Wow! Those would have to be some pretty highly trained Rhesus monkeys." To which I can only reassure you that, yes, yes they are.
Still sceptical? Ask yourself this: have you ever met a Rhesus monkey trainer? No? That's because they all work for Google.
FACT.
