The sad thing is the skeptics in this thread, not that there's anything wrong with that...

We've become so jaded because of being burned in the past, and Axl's constant false starts, that when Chinese Democracy finally is TRUELY starting now - we're not even going to believe it's happening. We're going to convince ourselves it will fall apart.

Hopefully this is the case now. We think it won't start but it actually is.

Yeah, good points.

Last time I checked the Feds weren't even really cracking down all that much on piracy anymore. The scare tactics in the mid-2000's pretty much scared away most downloaders, and it costs so much money to tackle the problem of piracy, that they only go after big fish these days. They go after uploaders most of the time now.

The old stories back in the day of little old grandfathers getting $250,000 fines and probation for downloading music were PLANTED untrue stories to begin with.

I think the FBI story was plant by GN'R too.

Hope he's okay.

Someone snapping a pic with their cell phone... ugh... that's the world we live in today. The man is trapped in a car, hurt, and like zombies to an injured FOOD... there we are.

That's terrible. Hopefully she'll recover.

Sounds plausible to me.
