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."

Shouting louder isn't a legitimate way to win an argument.

Do the record companies pay them more or less than they actually lose to piracy?

I wonder if they declare these losses for insurance or tax purposes?

It always seems like it's the largest and most sucessful musicians that slam piracy and filesharing.

Oh... THAT Simmons. I got Gene Simmons and Richard Simmons confused. I bet he gets that a lot though.

Actually, Microsoft has been really terrible with marketing lately. I think you're mistaking them with Apple. (it's been happening a lot lately, but Jon Stewart recently picked up on this)

In fact, they've been so bad with marketing that I've been checking the news lately to see if my Kinect pre-order would be a doorstop in a year. Luckily I've read otherwise...
