Kevin Cogill, the man accused of illegally posting songs on the Internet from an unreleased album by Guns N' Roses, has agreed to plead guilty, according to a federal prosecutor.
Cogill will enter his guilty plea to one federal count of copyright infringement at a hearing on Dec. 8, said Craig Missakian, assistant U.S. attorney.
The FBI said Cogill posted nine tracks from the highly anticipated Guns N' Roses album Chinese Democracy on the Web site Antiquiet.com. They did not disclose how Cogill, who has no known direct connection to the band, obtained the songs.
Cogill was arrested in August at his Los Angeles home and released on bail. At the time of his arrest, authorities said he faced more than three years in prison if convicted.
