Kevin Cogill Gets House Arrest for 'Chinese Democracy' Leak

Kevin Cogill, who leaked a copy of Guns 'n' Roses' magnum opus Chinese Democracy on his blog, was sentenced to two months' house arrest and one year's probation... and he must also record an anti-piracy PSA for the RIAA. That's what you'd call "adding insult to injury".

Perhaps the court looked at this from the wrong angle: Kevin Cogill should be lauded for saving countless fans from actually purchasing the overwrought, overcooked, Slash-free mess that is Chinese Democracy. How many people, upon hearing Axl Rose making himself sound like a Bond-villain vampire, were deterred from suffering through the rest of the album? Think about it.
