Does Kevin Cogill, who famously leaked nine tracks from Guns N’Roses’ long delayed Chinese Democracy, really deserve up to five years in prison? Cogill is facing a charge of copyright violation after the tracks appeared on his website earlier this year. But it appears the accused and his team don’t believe he is worthy of the charge after pleading not guilty yesterday.

The plea was made in a Los Angeles federal court and follows a dizzying turn of events for Cogill, who found the FBI on his doorstep after he hosted the songs on his Antiquiet website. The five-year conviction will only be triggered if Cogill is found to have made commercial gain from posting the songs, although no date has yet been set for the trial.

Cogill continues to blog on Antiquiet, under the name “Skwerl.” His latest postings include a piece on the new Britney Spears video, whom Cogill claims is “totally fuckable again.”
