FBI agents have announced the arrest of a blogger whom they claim has been streaming songs from the still unreleased new Guns N’ Roses album “Chinese Democracy.”
27-year-old Kevin Cogill was arrested on suspicion of violating federal copyright laws. FBI agents say Coghill had nine unreleased Guns N’ Roses songs on his site in June.
Although the songs were taken down later, Coghill was still arrested after admitting to posting the songs on his site.
“Chinese Democracy” was set for release in 1997 but has been delayed by the band time and time again over disputes with the lead singer.

In a move that can only be described as strange, Panasonic has launched a new personal video recorder in Japan that includes both a Blu-ray writing drive and more strangely, a VHS deck.
The recorder can be useful though, as I am sure there are many of us out there that have personal videos of family still on VHS however to see a VHS deck next to a Blu-ray recorder is something you don’t see everyday.
In addition to the deck and the drive, there is a built-in 320GB HDD for storage and TV recording as well as a USB 2.0 port and an SD card slot. There are two HDMI connections, digital and analog TV tuners and second generation MPEG-4 AVC H.264 encoder chips. There is also an ethernet port and Panasonic says a video download service is coming soon.
The DMR-BR630V is set to hit the Japanese market soon with a price equivalent to $1,456 USD.

Download video off YouTube - Have you ever watched a video on youtube.com and found it so profound, so hilarious, or so moving that you wished you could yank it off and stick it on your iPod or save it to your computer? Well, you’re not the only one. Many people wish to remove video’s from these sites.
There have been many ways to do this published before, the original ones complicated and often difficult for the average user to do. Others work, but result in lower video quality. And finally, many save the video’s in an obscure video format that is not compatible with mp3 players or computers.
The first thing to do when preparing to download video off YouTube is to download the necessary software. While there are many software packages that will allow you to do this, there are some features to watch for: what format does the video get saved in, and what does the software cost?
You want the video to be saved as either .avi, .mpeg, .amv, or .wmv; and if you’re like most people, you want a free program.
The best program I have found to date that will meets all the needs of a user perfectly while remaining absolutely free is VDownloader. A simple, free program, simply install it onto your desktop, then follow the directions below:
Be sure that BROWSE VIDEOS is set to youtube.com
The link to the youtube.com page usually popups automatically in VDownloader, but sometimes you must manually insert it. Simply copy and paste the address from the browser into VDownloader URL.
