An alleged member of a high-profile music piracy group known for illegally copying and then pre-releasing albums to the public has been charged with conspiracy to commit copyright infringement.

Patrick L. Saunders, known by the screen name “Daliveone,” is accused of being a member of “Rabid Neurosis.” Known commonly by its tag “RNS,” the piracy group stopped identifying itself with illegally copied music in 2007 after MTV News listed it as the source of an Eminem album released a week earlier than scheduled by producers.
