Overview
A MAN who leaked the new Guns N' Roses album online has been sentenced to two months home confinement.
Kevin Cogill, from Los Angeles, was also sentenced to a year's probation and was ordered to appear in an anti-piracy commercial.
Cogill admitted copyright infringement last year after posting nine songs from the Chinese Democracy album online.
Cogill had faced a maximum of one year in federal prison, a $100,000 (£61,000) fine and five years' probation.
In court yesterday, he apologised for his actions and said he had not meant any harm by posting the tracks on the Antiquiet website.
He told Judge Paul L Abrams: "I never intended to hurt the artist. I intended to promote the artist because I'm a fan."
Chinese Democracy, Guns N' Roses' first new album in 17 years, was released last November, costing more than $13m (£7.9m) to record.
