Skwerl to plead guilty over uploading Chinese Democracy
November 11th, 2008 by Chad Radford in Music news
According to Wired.com Kevin “Skwerl” Gogill, who is best known as the guy from LA who was arrested on accusations of uploading nine pre-released songs from Guns N’ Roses epically forthcoming Chinese Democracy, will plead guilty to one federal count of copyright infringement.
As part of a plea deal that will be entered on Dec. 8, Cogill, 27, will plead guilty to uploading the songs to his site Antiquiet, and face up to one year in prison for a misdemeanor charge of copyright infringement.
Cogill is the first Californian charged under a 3-year-old federal antipiracy law that makes it a felony to distribute unreleased copyright works online.
