The whole basis of anonymous only works if these people are just that... Anonymous. The "group anonymous" is essentially the whole internet. Every user whose identity is not known. You cant find and sue an anonymous person because once you do find them they lose anonymity. To say you want to take down anonymous seems wrong to me; that implies you want to take away privacy or to reveal everyone's identities somehow.
What Gene Simmons wants to do is target pirates... And even then he's massively overreacting. I mean come on... Who the hell hasn't downloaded a song or 9001 before? And it's not like any of music artists are struggling that we hear of, Gene Simmons probably just thinks that everyone is pirating his music because he isn't getting anymore money since he hasn't released a song in so long.

Its great that he's standing up for himself but this really makes him sound like a dick.
I dont download music as I never really saw the point in risking it when I can just go on Youtube but Simmons should realise not everyone is like him (you know with EVERYTHING he ever wanted) and anyway is he saying hes never done anything wrong (he is an old school rock star after all). Not that im justifying piracy, they should still be punished but fines and social service seem enough to me.
ANYWAY HIS F'ING SON SHOULD BE IN JAIL FOR PIRACY SO THE HIPOCRIT SHOULD LOOK WITHIN HIS OWN HOUSE BEFORE TRYING TO CHANGE THE REST OF HIS COUNTRY!!!

he really does, really any musician is better off leaving the discussion for the record labels since everyone already views them as massive pricks even to their own artistsSoushi said:
Oh I never said he wasn't. He's made every product under the sun, and the bad part is IT SELLS. He pushes his marketting. He's actually a brilliant businessman, and yet a total sellout. But despite how much money he's made, he pinches every fucking penny, so he keeps damned near all of it.Worgen said:I thought he got were he was by selling outCeltic_Kerr said:
Both sides should lose, as neither are being reasonable. Why the disproportionate response to song downloading? Just invoice them a reasonable sum and see if we can't drag the music industry into the 21st century. On the flipside, why is it suddenly ok to steal something someone worked on, just because you can't afford it or don't want to buy it? If you can't afford, wait until you can, it's not going anywhere, after all.
they are not internet terrorists they are the internet in its purest form. A FORUM OF FREE SPEECH LOVING PEOPLE OF ALL WALKS OF LIFE.this is why they attack Scientology and copyright law and 15 year old girls who murder puppies by way of ICE COLD RIVER! True they do some mean shit like afroduck and closing random pools. but they are TROLLS!! by raiding these so called good things they are trolling the people that stand for them. I endores nither side this will be a interesting warAzaraxzealot said:
That would require both parties to grow up and find better things to do with their time. Both of which are highly unlikely.lacktheknack said:
The problem is that the punishment is completely disproportionate to the crime. If someone stole a candy bar, or even 10 candy bars from a supermarket, does that mean they deserve 20 years in jail and the complete and total loss of their future?Legion said:
I hate them both, I hope they both end up gaining nothing... wait, that's what always happens in these kinds of, what's the word... ah-ha!
Stupid things.
Stupid things.
Not to mention anyone ballsy enough to do something like this probably knows how to be completely anonymous. Gene may catch a few idiots who aren't in the know but you can't fight the swarm.tehroc said:
