Feds Arrest Man Who Leaked 'Chinese Democracy'

Alright, folks. Let this be your lesson. The man behind the recent unauthorized distribution of nine nearly-finished Guns N' Roses songs, reportedly from the band's forever-forthcoming 'Chinese Democracy' album, was arrested by FBI agents early Wednesday.

After a court appearance in Los Angeles, the 27 year old Antiquiet blogger, Kevin "Skwerl" Cogill -- who was still in his pajamas from his 6:59 a.m. apprehension -- was later released on $10,000 bail.

Cogill, who is scheduled to appear in court again on September 17, was first investigated by the feds back in June, and ultimately booked on suspicion of violating copyright laws. According to arrest papers, Mr Cogill admitted to posting the songs, which were later removed from his website after an intervention from the band.

Prosecutors claim the leaks could lead to "significant" financial loss for the rock band fronted by braided wonder, W. Axl Rose. Oddly enough, there were no restrictions placed on Cogill's internet use.

Over at the GN'R camp, spokesman Larry Solters stated that the band "had been made aware of the arrest and are leaving the matter to the authorities." But aside from the official release of a new track next month for 'Rock Band 2,' there has been no official word on when the follow-up to 1993's covers-only album 'The Spaghetti Incident?' might actually be available to buy.

Who cares? GnR doesn't exist anymore anyway. This record (assuming it ever actually gets released) will be a steaming pile of dung.
