"Some of you may have heard a few popcorn farts re: our sites being threatened by hackers," wrote KISS bassist Gene Simmons on his website yesterday, responding to a DDoS attack that took down GeneSimmons.com earlier this week.
The attack was part of Operation Payback, a campaign that over the past few weeks has been targeting organizations who legislate and litigate in support of copyright laws. Loosely organized by Anonymous, a group of Internet "vigilantes" has launched a series of denial-of-service attacks against the likes of the MPAA, the RIAA, the UK Intellectual Property Office, as well as against the KISS bassman.

"Make sure your brand is protected. Make sure there are no incursions. Be litigious. Sue everybody. Take their homes, their cars. Don't let anybody cross that line" -Gene Simmons
This may not go well for him.

He is legally correct in his opinion, people are stealing when they file-share but didn't he see what happened to Metallica's reputation after Lars got all anti-piracy?
- And no one messes with 4chan.DrBombay
- what does 'legally correct in his opinion' mean exactly? He's NOT legally correct periodDodecahedron
- stealing copyrighted material is illegal in America.DrBombay
- No one has ever legally proven sharing music on the net is 'stealing'Dodecahedron
- Gene has no legit argument thats why people like him and the record industry make a big stink in the media insteadDodecahedron

- Update: Kubo said in his second Twitter post that he is more concerned with the fact that Gene Simmons' son is a comic creator, as opposed to whether there was actual copying or not.mcmillions
