A Blog, Guns n’ Roses & the FBI

Did you hear about the guy who got a visit from the FBI for posting unreleased Guns n’ Roses tracks from their “when the hell are they ever going to come out with it” album, Chinese Democracy?

Kevin Skwerl was confronted by the FBI last week after posting the mp3’s up on his blog. Now, he claimed he received the files from an anonymous source, as he’s a simple web designer that runs a blog. But seeing that he used to work in the distribution department at Universal Music, parent label of Geffen, maybe that source wasn’t so anonymous after all?

Although the songs are down off his site, the damage is done, and the files are freely swimming through the binary wonderland we call the internet. Wonder if legal action will follow from the GnR camp. Well, either way, GnR fans are rejoicing at this man’s philanthropy to their ears and hearts.
