As if being sued isn't bad enough...

Veracohr	Date: August 27, 2008 @ 7:44 AM The FBI arrested a man on suspicion of violating copyright law, for leaking Guns N' Roses' new album: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080827/ap_en_mu/blogger_arrested;_ylt=Asu1hSjI9XcRu4p2u4UxAaQjtBAF

SimonWaldram	Date: August 29, 2008 @ 11:39 AM Isn't copyright law a civil rather than federal issue? Why are the FBI involved in this? Hasn't most of the album been on P2P networks, Youtube etc for a while now? It sounds like they're just making an example out of this guy. Also, Shackler's Revenge is a truly awful song.

I made a comment about this on another forum, and all anyone wanted to say about it was silly comments about the album. Who cares about the album? Someone was ARRESTED for violating copyright law! That, to me, is a huge abuse of the power of the law in favor of corporations.
