'Chinese Democracy' Leaker Sentenced To Probation

Seven months after pleading guilty to leaking tracks off Guns n' Roses' then-unreleased "Chinese Democracy," Los Angeles blogger Kevin Cogill was sentenced to two months of home confinement on Tuesday.

Under the terms of the plea deal with his federal prosecutors, Cogill also received one year's probation and will appear in an anti-piracy commercial for the Recording Industry Association of America, the trade group for the major U.S. music labels.

The ad is expected to air during the Grammy Awards on Jan. 31.

Last December Cogill plead guilty to a misdemeanor count of violating federal copyright laws. He agreed to help authorities find the source of the leak.

On Tuesday, Cogill told the court that he had no intention of hurting the band with the leak, but was trying to promote them because he was a fan himself.

"Chinese Democracy" is Guns n' Roses' first new album in 17 years.
