Oh snap. According to Yahoo! News, a blogger suspected of streaming songs from the unreleased GUNS N’ ROSES album Chinese Democracy on his website was arrested Wednesday and appeared in court, where his bail was set at $10,000.

FBI agents arrested 27-year-old Kevin Cogill on Wednesday morning on suspicion of violating federal copyright laws. Cogill appeared in court in the afternoon wearing a T-shirt; his girlfriend sat court and afterward said, “Rally the troops,” but declined further comment.

Federal authorities say Cogill posted nine unreleased GUNS N’ ROSES songs on his Web site in June. The songs were later removed.

By the time Axl actually releases this, everybody will already have it for free. He’s only kicking himself in the ass. With the way album sales are he probably wishes he released it years ago now.
