Kevin Cogill Arrested for Leaking Guns N’ Roses Songs

In June, it was reported here that Guns N’ Roses were pissed and took legal action against a website called Antiquiet.com for leaking several of their new songs from Chinese Democracy online. According to Female First, the 27-year-old guy who did the leaking got arrested.

FBI agents arrested Kevin Cogill for copyright infringement. He admitted in court that he leaked nine songs from the album in June which were available for fans to download. Bail was set at $10,000, but Cogill will have to appear in court again on September 17.

Prosecutors argue that Cogill’s actions may have caused Guns N’ Roses “significant” financial losses.

Wow, I guess Cogill’s learning a lesson about not messing with Axl Rose and the other rockers. Yikes, I wonder how much Cogill will be sued for.
