I wrote about this dude a while back, and he is in the poo-potty now. The FBI arrested him and is now taking him to court for streaming nine unreleased Guns n’ Roses songs. Now he sees a darker time before him, compared to what he thought back then.

This is what he said back in June to Rolling Sone: “I’m not worried [about possible legal action], I have a few friends in the music industry, pretty high up on the inside. The consensus seems to be that they probably aren’t going to prosecute, it’s pretty bad PR. It’s a grey area in a lot of senses since it wasn’t for download and it wasn’t a finished product. We aren’t even sure who owns the recordings. Everything I know about these situations doesn’t apply to this particular case. I’m not ruling anything out, but I feel like I might survive this. I don’t know.”

If he is convicted he will possibly get five-years in prison and a $250,000 fine. The hearing will probably be 17th of September.
