Hi Alisdair,
Kiss bassist is bumped offline after comments endorsing aggressive stance against copyright infringement
Never one to bite his tongue (sorry), the public face of Kiss, its bassist Gene Simmons, has become the latest target of assiduous online attackers, Anonymous.
I never thought that much about him until recently, when his willingness to fight for musicians and their royalties is become more and more apparent. He's a shrewd businessman - maybe he'll show them that they've bitten off mo0re than they can chew.
My feeling is that if the courts get totally inundated with lawsuit after lawsuit, they will have no other choice but to take notice. This is what SHOULD have been happening all along, but the suits are too lazy (or, put another way, they won't litigate unless it is big enough to be worth it - to them).
best,
Bobby
