    Skunk Records(Sublime) is suing me for my GFY Video!

    As most of you know, I made a video for the homemade GFY Video contest, you can find the video here: http://www.hostedcontent.com/gfy_highband.wmv

    For entertaining my felllow GFY'ers, I have taken the burden of being sued for using music from Sublime.

    If I win the contest, I will use the money for my lawers, if I don't win the contest, i will have to flea the country to singapore. wish me luck
