Man Arrested For Allegedly Posting Unreleased Guns N' Roses Tracks On Internet

Russell Hall | 08.28.2008



Federal authorities have arrested a man on suspicion of posting unreleased Guns N’ Roses tracks on the Internet. As reported by the Associated Press, FBI agents allege that Kevin Cogill, a 27-year-old with no known affiliation with the band, violated copyright laws by posting tracks from Guns N’ Roses’ long-awaited forthcoming album, Chinese Democracy, on his Web site. Authorities say the tracks were later removed, but not before they had been widely circulated. Cogill, who appeared in court on Wednesday, faces a maximum of three years in prison if convicted. The sentence could be increased to five years if it’s determined he posted the tracks for commercial gain. Cogill was released on $10,000 bail.  ―Russell Hall
