The man accused of leaking several Guns N Roses tracks online recenlty pleaded not guilty in a Los Angeles federal court.

Kevin Cogill, 27, is accused of violating federal copyright laws by uploading nine tracks from the veteran rockers' highly anticipated forthcoming album "Chinese Democracy" on his website this summer.

Cogill admitted to uploading the tracks, but Guns N Roses issued a statement after his arrest saying that although they did not support his actions, "our interest is in the original source (of the leak)."

Cogill faces up to five years in a federal prison if convicted of the misdemeanour count, reports E! Online. A trial date has not yet been set.

I know I speak for a lot of people when I say "Who cares about GNR anymore?" This album is how many years in the making? I know for sure I won't pay a single dime for this record. GNR needs to get the sand out of thier vagina, douche themselves with bleach, and then just GIVE the damn thing away for FREE. Hell, They should pay people to take the CD/mp3/torrent/vinyl/8 track/ whatever they decide to put it on.

That guy who leaked the sh** was doing the world a favor. Saving people the guess work out of how much the album would suck. The best song on the album is going to be a b-side from the apetite for destruction record, which will be the only song they play on the radio, to SUCKER you all....
