We should email Gorilla Nation and find out exactly what their relationship with GNR is.....it seems like Skwerl DL of a work computer...Would Gorilla Nation have the songs?

Why is everyone so surprised that this has happened? Why does everyone think that movies and music should be free? It costs people time and money to make movies and music just like everything else we purchase. If someone went to Walmart and stole a plasma TV and got arrested, should I call the TV company greedy and go and steel a plasma TV for myself? Taking Axl's music and distributing it all over the internet is illegal, the same way that it is illegal for me to steel TVs from Walmart and distribute them outside in the parking lot. Just because steeling music is easier than steeling a PS3 from best buy, it doesn't make it right. It is Axl's music and he wants us to hear it when him and the record company are ready to release it. I am just as impatient as everyone else, but we shouldn't blame Axl for his actions. A crime was committed, Axl was robbed of his music.

you know he could have avoided all of this if he wouldnt have cooperated with the fbi, after reading the affidavit its seemed that the agent had to verify who he was by interviewing him first, in order for there to be case against him.so if he would have just avoided the situation or just plain out told them to get lost he would still be free.

Was he giving away a physical format?  No.  What I find to be really funny is that free file sharing has actually spawned the biggest technological trend in years.  Hell, bigger than Tamagotchi's.

Mp3 players.  If people weren't getting free Mp3's iPods, Zune's, and the Creative players never would of taken off like they did.  In fact, digital downloads from iTunes are all a result of people downloading music for free.  They should be thanking those who download because they were the ones who created this new source of income for them. 

Those who weren't going to buy Chinese Democracy downloaded it.  Those who are going to buy it downloaded it as well.  Those who weren't going to buy it may of downloaded it and then went to see them on tour and even buy a t-shirt. 

Bootlegging like that is one of the greatest things that could happen to an artist.  It is basically a free advertisement.  It costs about 5 million to get your song played on the radio.  Yeah, you gotta pay out the ass in order to get paid the 32 or so cents the artist gets each time his song is played on the radio.  Geffen just had one of their artists get airplay for nothing.  Think of how many people heard those 9 tracks and said "I can't wait for that record to come out!".

If there is a whole message board with a lot of posters all wishing for Chinese Democracy to come out it obviously means that downloading 9 tracks isn't going to hurt this record.

You know why?  Because the record companies are actually giving us something we want to buy.

The only way this could of hurt GNR is if the 9 tracks were god awful pieces of shit that would make people say "Holy crap, I'm not buying that bullshit".  Then again, if Axl stuck a mic up his ass and ran up and down steps for 45 minutes I'm sure some would still buy it.  I might just for the novelty of it.

He posted the leaks like "hey here I am, I'm the leaker come and catch me so I can get in the news!".
HE WANTED this to happen. period.
He wanted publicity, that's what he's got. I explained that on a previous post 2 pages ago.

So if he goes to jail well... it's the price he has to pay for being such an attention whore asshole.
