Axl Rose, Indiana’s own, (yes, look it up) has lawyered up and filed felonycharges against a blogger who leaked 8 streaming tracks from Chinese Democracy, an album I won’t dare call upcoming as we’ve been waiting for this megalomaniac’s release for 15 years.
Buried at the bottom of the L.A. Times article is a quote from Corynne McSherry, a staff attorny from the Electronic Frontiers Foundation.
“Bringing that hammer down on an individual music fan strikes me as entirely inappropriate…Taxpayers should be concerned that they are picking up Hollywood and the music industry’s legal costs, particularly when you are going after an individual like this.”
Yeah, it’s a stretch to blog about this as Indiana news. But what 80’s Hoosier rock start would you rather me blog about? David Lee Roth? John Mellancamp?
