Blogger arrested for leaking Guns 'N Roses tracks

The blogger suspected of leaking tracks from Guns N Roses forthcoming album 'Chinese Democracy' was arrested in Los Angeles today (August 27).

FBI agents took 27-year-old Kevin Cogill into custody on suspicion of violating federal copyright laws. He later appeared in court, where his bail was set at $10,000.

Cogill admitted to posting nine unreleased Guns N Roses songs on his website in June, according to an arrest affidavit, reports the Associated Press.

He has been ordered to return to court for a preliminary hearing on the matter set for September 17. Prosecutors claim that the leak may have caused "significant" financial losses for the band.

Guns N Roses have not yet issued a statement on the matter.
