Two men have pleaded guilty to violating copyright laws by posting an album by rock musician Ryan Adams on a Web site before its public release, federal officials said Thursday.
Robert Thomas of Milwaukee and Jared Bowser of Jacksonville obtained and made available for copying portions of “Jacksonville City Nights” by Adams and his band, The Cardinals.
It was made available for copying by the public in August 2005 – about a month before the record’s commercial release, according to a federal indictment.
At the plea hearing, Bowser admitted obtaining a copy that was provided to a music reviewer in advance of public release.
