Gene Simmons Declares War on Anonymous

[Torrasque]

I do love how people are shoving this to extremes. Everyone says he's going to go after people who download one or two songs. MAYBE that is the case, but don't you think he'll go after distributors, MASS pirates, and the other people doing this on a mass scale before he goes after people that pirate one or two songs?

Thats something I hadn't thought of before, but makes much more sense.
If he went after the sites that host pirated stuff, that would be much easier to do than fight Anonymous.
But that is not the title of this thread is it?

That I'd like to see, ya frog-tongued sombitch.

NNO it's it's not the title of the thread, but it's what he said he'd do. Go after everyone who pirates and steals. He never said "Those anonymous sons of bitches are going down. You need a plan to work off of. You don't just shove your dick in a beehive and hope they suffocate. You work systematically. Wading into something without a plan is an idiot's idea, and it's not the way Gene Simmons thinks.

He'll probably go after the major people first, and when they find stupider and stupider ways to attack him (rather than redirecting him to Piratebay because he might try to get that closed first), he'll starting hitting at them.

Everyone assume he's just going to ATTACK Anon with no idea of what he's doing. The man is not stupid.

The greatest irony here would be the fact, that his very own son Nick, plagiarized a bunch of Bleach, Hellsing, Prototype (honestly the list is hella long) and yes, even Deviant artists! For his stupid comic "Incarnate" which was the biggest pile of theft one could imagine, and then tried to profit off of this junk. So, Gene, before you go trying to fix Anonymous or down-loaders, fix your own damn son first!

this will be a good match

by the end you wont be able to tell him apart from

 

[Saboten]

The real question to me is can he really find out who took down his site?

 

[Dogstile]

In this particular case I'm gonna side with Anonymous. Gene Simmons sounds like a giant tool. Sue every kid who ever downloaded a song? You, sir, are an idiot, and you had this coming for making such an ass-backwards ignorant statement.

Sounds like somebody enjoys their illegal free music...

I'm on Simmon's side here. If I had to pick whether 4chan or Gene Simmons was allowed to exist, it's Simmons every time. Sorry Anonymous, but you're just a bit too fucktarded for me.

I am so glad you can't pick. Anonymous is a culture, gene is an idiot.

 

[The_Echo]

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!

Either we're looking at a good performance, or a one-scene amateur hour with an abrupt ending.

I'm pretty sure Anon will win, per usual. People threaten them everyday. I doubt this will be much different.

 

[Kajin]

Irresistible Force meets Immovable Object? This should prove interesting.

 

[rossable]

you'd honestly have a better chance of stopping the wind than stopping the legion anon.

 

[Daxus13]

This will be fun

Why can I see this call out ending in strange bank transactions from Simmions to a GUM clinic for no apparent reason other than some Anon thought it'd be funny.

 

[Icehearted]

Anon, bringer of doom, farter of popcorn.

I'm all for protecting your works but people really blow this out of proportion. I seriously doubt anyone's been reduced to panhandling because some teens downloaded a bunch of Justin Bieber CDs. While I don't endorse this sort of thing, I haven't forgotten that the music industry was involved in a huge price-fixing scam years ago. Both sides are villains as I see it.

I have a suggestion for Gene somewhat along those lines, why not look at the track record Scientology has trying to track down Anonymous. He can pretty much see where his little row is going by looking at the track record of everyone whose tried to catch the legion.

Now, I'm not on anybodies side save mine, which is the side that is mildly interested in seeing how this turns out. I agree that the music industry suffers greatly because of downloading and its unfortunate, but rather than go out and boisterously threaten people Gene, playing your cards close to your chest and keeping a tight lip works better than obstreperously declaring yourself. Doesn't Yahtzee always say its a bad idea to telegraph one's attack?

 

[lacktheknack]

well so much for liking simmons, he sounds like a pretty big dick

Ya, he's a total dick for vowing to go after people who are engaged in illegal activities, including attacking his own site. He should learn that these crimes don't hurt anybody, and that poor college kids can't afford to buy music so should be given it for free.

Oh wait...

No, he's a total dick for wanting to crush every last one of their lives. That makes him a freaking Bond villain.

* casually sits on the side of anon*

*waits for simmons organs to be smeared on the wall and the inevitable meme invention that will follow*

Also, from what I can see, this is like Dr.doom vs lex luthor

I don't think so.
