If you’re planning on illegally downloading Guns N Roses leaked tracks from their forthcoming album, ‘Chinese Democracy’, you better think twice. Kevin Skwerl, the blogger who leaked nine tracks from the forthcoming album has been questioned by the FBI. Two agents visited Skwerl at his office and questioned him about the source of the files which he posted on his blog Antiquiet last week before removing them after a take down notice from Axl Rose’s attorneys. Skwerl, who is a former employee of Universal Music, was asked by the agents to hand over the original files which he did not have. Speaking to rollingstone.com Skwerl said he wasn’t worried about any legal action that might come from posting the tracks saying:

“I’m not so worried about that. It’s a legal grey area since it wasn’t for download, it wasn’t a finished product. We aren’t sure who owns the recordings. I feel like I might survive this.”
The tracks were removed from his blog after ““a really cool guy from the Gn’R camp” asked for the take down.”He was trying to reach out and see if I’d go without a fight, which is more or less what I did,” said Skwerl.
