Gene Simmons Declares War on Anonymous

[Ham_authority95]

Anonymous has won. They've gotten a negative reaction out of Gene fucking Simmons

And I thought they were awesome for getting Oprah to say "Over 9000 penises" on live tv...

Time to sit back relax and have a laugh.
If you're out there JoshUtuber you little plonker this guy has a better chance XD
Or are 4Chan's /b and Anonymous separate??? XD

 

[theriddlen]

This old man apparently has no idea who anonymous is. He'll be hell of a dissapointed after not being able to do anything to them.

 

[Svenparty]

I want to watch this unfold but it would be like watching a Robot abort a chicken with a dull cocktail stick.


I DESPISE Gene Simmons and his Kiss Kaskets etc and am worried he will bring an end to the highjinks that people like anomynous involve themselves in.

That said I am a bit doubtful about this FBI claim I know they are...THE FBI but these people like to make sure they use a proxy etc to protect themselves

Gene Simmons doesn't take shit. We all know this. He's too big to fuck with. You don't dare fuck with him. If he says he's gonna do something, he's going to do it.

Bring out the pop corn, this is gonna be AWESOME!

Yes, he will be reveling in victory next to Metalica.

I support him, but I feel he needs more luck than anything else. However, he does have enough money to track some IPs and go to town on a few people. And assuming one out of the 10 people he sues succeeds (estimated numbers), that will pay for the other 9 cases and enough to track down 20 more for the next round.

 

[Standby]

Good luck to him. I am getting sick of this "Don't mess with Anonymous" fear that so many people seem to feel.

You name makes this ironic.

Anonymous didn't invent the word, nor motto. They borrowed it as I did, so I disagree.

In fairness to Balrin, anon is more famously know for using the word than you are, and you show a disliking for the anonymous. So yeah, it is ironic.

True, but as I pointed out, I borrowed it, I am not claiming originality. I also like it for reasons that are completely different from theirs (based upon their attitude and actions that is).

Their ideal seems to be "We are many and you don't know us, so don't mess with us". Which to me, is just plain cowardice. Old school bullying where they can't do it alone or if they risk any consequences.

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...

He's a dick for saying that he wants people to lose their homes, lose their lives and put them in jail for downloading a song that's worth $0.99

If they are that stupid to risk going to jail for that then that's their problem not his.

Except for when it's his son doing it, then it's ok?

 

[Antari]

Unless he finds some way to hire Anonymous I don't see how he can win this battle. As for his comments, I never liked KISS. This certainly doesn't help. Crap is crap, it just becomes a bigger pile when it gets older.

 

[StrangerQ]

fact is that trolls cant lose they just return to their hibernal state and wait...

And yes Anonyous is and are Troll/s

Tho must admid... they have kicked up some pretty impressive acts of trollism even in real life

 

[Daverson]

Gene Simmons man! I mean, how can anonymous claim to be anything other than petty criminals if they're attacking Gene Simmons. He's like the Chuck Norris of music.

When are these idiots going to realize that they aren't knights in shining armour, they're just making things worse for the little people (which in this case, is you and me). If you don't like the RIAA, then just plain don't fucking buy their records! There's no reason you should steal from them.

If you don't want to pay to watch films, then watch non-commercial films. If you don't want to pay to listen to music, then listen to non-commercial music. There are plenty of both out on the net.

/b/ is a hotspot for anonymous. They also inhabit Ebaums world, Encyclopedia Dramatica, and YouTube

 

[Kinichie]

I for one am wanting to see how far Simmons will take this.

 

[eels05]

You sure he didn't get hacked by that kid who declared war on a world full of Justin Beiber-haters.

 

[Ham_authority95]

They don't do this to be Knights in Shining Armor. They do it for teh lulz.

The second they get a reaction, they've won.

 

[sesquipedality]

Whoever loses, everyone else wins.

 

[RagingScottsman]

Because Gene Simmons has surely NEVER done anything illegal!!! XD

 

[tehroc]

The fact that the FBI is involved should be a pretty good indication of the legality of their actions. And if you had the guts to break the law, you'd better be ready to do the time(or pay the fine more likely).

I'm not saying Mr. Simmons statement was nice, just that people are allowed to say shit and you aren't allowed to hack their site for it.





Besides, Anonymous always seemed like a bunch of self righteous dumbasses anyways. They could use a few consequences to put them in their place.

They will have fun prosecuting overseas offenders.

 

[Brainpalm]

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.

 

[PunkRex]

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!!!

 

[Worgen]

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

Gene Simmons is KNOWN for being a dick. He's a pure business man. He does what needs to be done. He's an asshole, and he's stingy with every penny he earns. He doesn't let people fuck with him. It's how he got where he is today.

I thought he got were he was by selling out

 

[oppp7]

It sounds like Gene Simmons is about to win.
