A California man was “welcomed to the legal jungle” when he was charged with illegally disseminating tracks of Guns N’ Roses’ much anticipated album “Chinese Democracy”. Kevin Cogill, a 27-year-old blogger with the nickname Skwerl, uploaded tracks from the album on his home in June, and was arrested in Aug. 27. He pleaded not guilty. The juvenile admitted to putting the tracks in his site but would not disclose how he got the copy. After the arrest, Axl Rose, lead singer of the band, wanted to know more on where and whom the original source came from. Cogill will face five years in a federal state penitentiary if found guilty of the illegal activity. But before he can be convicted, the prosecutors must prove without reasonable doubt that the boy did this for profit. Trial date is yet to be set.
