Blogger Arrested, Bailed Over Guns N’ Roses Copyright Infringement
0 comments Posted by bolly_news at 11:05 AMKevin Cogill, 27, seems to have taken his admiration for Guns N’ Roses one step too far by posting nine previously unreleased tracks on a website, inviting fellow Guns N’ Roses fans and anyone else interested to listen to the rare audio gift.
The nine tracks appear on the band’s upcoming new album, “Chinese Democracy,” and mysteriously made their way into Cogill’s hands.
Ever the generous blogger, Cogill put them online on www.antiquiet.com in June. His move was a success, from one point of view, as the site soon crashed.
According to court papers, Cogill eventually removed the tracks from the site, when the band intervened. Larry Solters, a spokesman for Guns N’ Roses, said the band “had been made aware of the arrest and are leaving the matter to the authorities.”
Cogill appeared in court on Wednesday and was released on $10,000 bail. He faces a maximum of three years in prison if convicted, and five years if he is found to have had a financial gain from his action.
Cogill is due to appear in court again on 17 September.
Prosecutors said the leak could lead to “significant” financial loss for Guns N’ Roses.
The rock band gained momentum in 1987 with the release of “Appetite for Destruction” and was greatly successful in the following years. Its last album to be released is 1993’s “The Spaghetti Incident?”.
Guns N’ Roses have been working on “Chinese Democracy,” which has no official release date yet, for a decade.
A new song from “Chinese Democracy,” titled “Shackler’s Revenge,” will be available for legal listening starting with September, when Harmonix and MTV Games release Rock Band 2.

Celebrity makeup artist Paul Starr was found dead in his L.A. apartment yesterday at the age of 48. Starr's A-list clients included Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Garner, and Jessica Alba. His extensive work in the fashion industry includes collaborations with Jean Paul Gaultier and Dolce & Gabbana.
In his 2005 book Paul Starr on Beauty: Conversations With Thirty Celebrity Women, Jolie says, "During the time we have spent in the make up chair, we talked about everything but the photo shoot; global issues, babies, human rights."
Police broke down Starr's door yesterday after he had been missing for days. The cause of death is still unknown.

Reality TV star Jade Goody has spent her first night on the Indian version of Celebrity Big Brother.
It comes 18 months after the 27-year-old was accused of racism towards Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty in the UK show.
Goody told Indian audiences before she went in to the house the incident with Shetty was "in the past" and that she was "not proud of it".
Shetty takes Davina McCall's role on the Indian show, known as Bigg Boss.
"I know I have behaved wrongly but that was my yesterday," Goody said.
"Today, I have changed for the better and I am here to prove it. I am determined to be myself and win everyone's heart."
'Sorry'
Goody arrived in Mumbai on Friday
So far on the show, Goody has learnt Hindi phrases and Bollywood-style dancing.
As the only non-Indian contestant and first international celebrity on the show, Goody is immune from nominations this week as a mark of hospitality.
Last year's British show attracted 45,000 complaints to media regulator Ofcom over the alleged bullying of Shetty by Jade Goody and fellow contestants, model Danielle Lloyd and singer Jo O'Meara.
It also led to a protest in the eastern Indian city of Patna which saw the burning of an effigy.
A month after leaving the house, Goody visited India and told the Indian community: "I am sorry for the hurt and pain that my actions caused."

The Bachchan family’s Unforgettable tour is running to packed houses all over its venues in U.S.A, according to reports.
The tour, with a cast of other A-list stars dancing and singing live onstage in a spectacular musical production, is boasting sold-out venues with seating for about 10,000 people each, the Chicago Tribune reported .It mainly features Amitabh Bachchan, his son, Abhishek Bachchan and daughter in law Aishwarya Rai.
“It must be centuries ago that I did my last tour,”Amitabh Bachchan told the daily. “Many, many years ago I stopped doing shows. At age 66, it’s not advisable to get back on the stage, but the organizers, managers and other artistes involved, particularly Aishwarya, were very keen that I come along.”
But Amitabh Bachchan’s age has not been an issue and his performances have been electrifying for hungry fans. “What we do onstage is a reproduction of what we do on film, so obviously music, dancing and singing are an integral part.” Bachchan was quoted as saying. Some of the film favorites the show covers may include “Don”, “Kaalia”, “Bunty Aur Babli”, “Kabhi Kabhie” and “Silsila”, he said.
The show features splashy Vegas-style stage, backup dancers and spectacular costumes, the Tribune said. Asked if this will be his last tour, Amitabh Bachchan said,” “I have no idea if it is I thought of that 20 years ago, and I’m back, so one never knows. I’m just thankful people still consider me a performer. It’s very gratifying.”
