In accordance with state jurisdictions, your failure to pay these penalties in full within 30 days of receipt of this notice will result in a warrant for your arrest. We are also required by law to inform you that a second offense will result in a minimum jail sentence of 90 days. Penalties incurred in your particular case may be reviewed on our government Web site. All cases are deemed confidential. Penalties are assessed by each individual download, charged at a nonnegotiable rate of $1,200 per infraction.

Sincerely, Jay Roth U.S. Agent Bureau of Entertainment Executive Rights Case No.: RG38751 Interesting, scared me for a sec. Then I realized that the email wasn’t from a .gov, and i decided to check out [www.lqgen.com](http://www.lqgen.com). Obviously not a government organization. So then I performed a google search on “Bureau of Entertainment Executive Rights.” No such thing. Stupid joke. But I can see how many people could buy it…
