Feds arrest man accused of posting unreleased Guns N’ Roses songs

Wow. Just wow. The FBI has arrested a man for post­ing unre­leased Guns N’ Roses songs on his web­site. He is accused of vio­lat­ing a new Fed­eral copy­right law that has sig­nif­i­cantly added to the penal­ties for post­ing unre­leased mate­ri­als online. Of course, numer­ous tracks from the the album have been avail­able for years, but he drew atten­tion to him­self when he not only posted them but blogged about them. The result­ing atten­tion crashed his server and got the Feds interested.
