Gene Simmons Threatens Anonymous Again and Gets DDoS'd
BussyB writes "Rather than shutting him up, the 'Operation Payback' DDoS attack on his websites only made Simmons more angry and outspoken. None of those threats seemed to bother Anonymous, however, and the group promptly launched another DDoS attack on both of Simmons' websites and rendered them inaccessible once again."
I noticed you didn't say "the most talented musicians"
Don't they make most of their money by performing dozens of times a year, anyway?
That's not true! They're also paid quite well by the recording industry to speak out against piracy!
When you're afraid to download music illegally in your own home, then the terrorists have won!
Note to self: Next time I send pizzas to someone as a prank, don't pay for them before hand...

I don't know why, but I imagined Richard Simmons was getting DDoS'd and I was very confused.

Nonsense! With Kiss it used to be about the music, man! Well, that and the lunchboxes, posters, cartoon shows, movies, guest appearances, fast-food tie-ins, TV specials, KISS Army fan club, clothing line, Halloween costumes, makeup line, books, toys, and probably a whole lot of other stuff I'm forgetting about. But the music was in there somewhere, I'm sure of it.

The way to defeat trolls is to keep them arguing with each other all night long, until daylight arrives and they're no longer a threat. (ok, in this case it's because their mothers have sent them off to school, but the idea is similar)

Now if someone replicated on a 3-d printer, then ole Gene would be rightly annoyed. But copying the music? He doesn't lose any real money from that.

I like to imagine the executive from marketing who gets the job of telling the producers that the market research says songs about beating up your girlfriend will make the most money.

Sure as hell wasn't computers. Gene Simmons didn't have a computer growing up and look what happened to him.

They tried autotune with Lemmy. The autotune box exploded, killing 4 in the sound booth.

Yeah, but have you seen the executable?
