Is this justice?  No, seriously.  Is this justice?  I mean did this guy steal?  Or did he merely reveal? We all know he didn't profit from leaking the 137th version of Chinese Democracy.  He admitted to be a fan of GnR.  So, his crime is basically a digital version of pulling the drape away from the Wizard.  Furthermore, will this stop people from doing the same?  Isn't that one of the purposes of justice?

Good thing the US Attorney is pursuing this kind of "crime," and not something frivolous like terrorism or corporate fraud.

From the LA Times:

A man accused of posting nine previously unreleased songs by the rock band Guns N' Roses on a website where they could be accessed by the public was arrested at his home early today on suspicion of violating federal copyright laws, authorities said.

Kevin Cogill, 27, is accused of posting the songs, which were being prepared for commercial release, on the Internet blog Antiquiet in June, according to an arrest affidavit. The site received so much traffic after the songs were posted that it crashed, the affidavit states.

Cogill admitted to posting the songs when he was questioned by an FBI agent, according to the affidavit. He was arrested at his home in Culver City this morning and is expected to appear in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles later today, said Assistant U.S. Atty. Craig Missakian.

By the way, the US Attorney recommended bail be set for $50,000 for Cogill, because afterall, he is such a dangerous criminal.
