Kevin Cogill, 28, who we reported earlier as admitting to the fbi in a signed confession that he in fact leaked the previously un-released guns 'n roses album Chinese Democracy plead guilty yesterday to a lesser charge in his piracy case.
Cogil plead guilty to a copyright infringement misdemeanor, when earlier he was facing up to one year in prison for the same crime as a felony.
“I think the Internet affords a level of anonymity to people that lulls them into believing that what they are doing is either not criminal or beyond the reach of the law," assistant U.S. attorney Craig Missakian was quoted as saying. "But that's certainly not the case."
