LOS ANGELES – A blogger suspected of streaming songs from the unreleased Guns N’ Roses album “Chinese Democracy” on his Web site was arrested Wednesday and appeared in court, where his bail was set at $10,000.
Federal authorities say Cogill posted nine unreleased Guns N’ Roses songs on his Web site in June. The songs were later removed.
According to an arrest affidavit, Cogill admitted to agents that he posted the songs on his Web site. The magistrate judge did not impose any special Internet use restrictions on Cogill, who’s expected back in court Sept. 17.
“Chinese Democracy” is a much anticipated – and repeatedly delayed – new album by Guns N’ Roses that is more than 10 years in the making.
