    Police Arrest Guns N' Roses Blogger

    Wed, 27 Aug 2008 14:09:15

    For posting illicit 'Chinese Democracy' tracks


    Los Angeles police have arrested Kevin Cogill, a 27-year-old blogger who leaked nine pre-release Guns N' Roses tracks in June. The incident has left him accused of violating federal copyright laws.

    In a statement posted on Cogill's site, www.antiquiet.com, a certain Johnny Firecloud writes, "In all likelihood, [Chris will] be back fighting the good fight from his couch by this evening. But anyone who feels like getting as equally theatrical as the feds (who were anything but quiet and graceful during their ass-crack-of-dawn descent on Skwerl’s sleepy house this morning) can come show their support with Britney and I today at the LA District Court on 255 E. Temple. 2pm. Bring your mp3 players."
