GNR Leaker Sentenced to House Arrest
Wired: Guns N’ Roses Uploader Gets House Arrest, Will Make Anti-Piracy Ad.
Kevin “Skwerl” Cogill, the blogger who uploaded nine tracks from Chinese Democracy to Antiquiet prior to its release date, got a slap on the wrist, won’t have to pay a fine, and will make a radio or television message “talking about the importance of protecting copyright holders’ rights in their songs and movies.” Classic.
