A 27-year-old blogger named Kevin Cogill was arrested on Wednesday (August 27th) at his Los Angeles home on suspicion of violating federal copyright laws for leaking nine Guns N' Roses songs online, according to the Los Angeles Times. Cogill, who used the name Skwerl, was accused of posting the songs at a website called Antiquiet in June, where they were available for public access. The site crashed from the amount of traffic it received once word of the leaked tracks got out. Cogill admitted to federal agents that he posted the songs and was expected to appear in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles on Wednesday afternoon.
Cogill operates Antiquiet himself and used to work in the distribution department of Universal Music, which owns Guns N' Roses' catalog.
It is not yet known how Cogill obtained the tracks, which are taken from the yet-to-be-released Guns N' Roses album, Chinese Democracy. He told Rolling Stone that he received them from an "anonymous online source," and took them down after being contacted by "a really cool guy from the G N'R camp that was a middleman between someone who was very angry and me."
Cogill was also visited at his office by two FBI agents who questioned him about the leak.
Kathy Leodler, director of investigations for the Recording Industry Association of America's (RIAA) Western region office, told the Times, "The arrest of Kevin Cogill is great for the recording industry related to our online investigations. We are very pleased with the FBI's interest and the U.S. attorney's office's aggressiveness in pursuing this investigation. We think we'll see more and more of these pre-release cases."
Kid Rock told a British tabloid newspaper that he pulled out of the U.K.'s Download Festival in June because he felt mistreated by the show's organizers, and not because he was ill. Rock was quoted by the Daily Star's music columnist as saying that the festival's promoters "treated me like f***. There was just one trailer for my whole band. We had no water, no bathroom, no rider. The final straw was when they wouldn't give my crew any food or drinks vouchers. I called the promoter and told him he had two hours to get it sorted or I was out. They did nothing so I visited the promoter's office, took a p*** on his couch and left."
The show's organizers issued a statement on the day of the show (June 13th) saying that Rock had fallen ill and was rushed to a nearby hospital. It was later reported that he had been suffering from dehydration.
But Rock told the Star he was nowhere near a hospital, and was instead "wandering the streets in Birmingham, trying to find a good movie to watch."
A spokesperson for Download producers Live Nation said about Rock's remarks, "This is the first we've heard of it. At this stage we have nothing to add." Rock's publicist did not answer a request for comment.
Rock shot the video for his next single, "Roll On," on Wednesday (August 26th) in Detroit. The track is featured on his latest album, Rock 'N Roll Jesus.
Kid Rock headlines his own show in Milwaukee on Thursday (August 28th) before re-teaming with Lynyrd Skynyrd for a couple of gigs this weekend.

Over the centuries tory burch handbags have gone through many adaptations and tory burch coroline satche silver fashions, but the word handbag was only coined in the 1900s. The start of the twentieth century also heralded the type of tory burch sale we would recognise today - with tory burch shoes getting increasingly smaller and the introduction of tory burch fasteners, inner compartments and locks http://www.handbags4fashion.com/.
