Guns N' Roses Speak Out On Arrested Blogger

Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash has spoken about the FBI arresting a blogger who leaked nine songs from the band's new album 'Chinese Democracy'.
Earlier this week, Kevin Cogill was arrested by police in Los Angeles after he leaked the unreleased songs in June.
He has since been released on $10,000 bail and must attend court in September - prosecutors claim the leaked songs may have caused "significant" financial losses for Guns N' Roses.
According to Latimes.com, the band have now said: "Presently, though we don't support this guy's actions at that level, our interest is in the original source. We can't comment publicly at this time as the investigation is ongoing."
Slash is quoted as saying: "I hope he rots in jail. It's going to affect the sales of the record, and it's not fair. The internet is what it is, and you have to deal with it accordingly, but I think if someone goes and steals something, it's theft."
