KISS Videos Removed Due To Copyright Claims
from the sue-'em-all dept
We noted recently that Kiss's Gene Simmons has (not for the first time) declared war on people who infringe on his copyrights, declaring that they should all be sued and that:
Oops. At first I wondered if this was more work of Anonymous, submitting bogus copyright claims to take down the videos, but the company involved, S'More Entertainment, does appear to be a legitimate company that supposedly holds the rights to a bunch of music videos, which suggests perhaps it has a claim on some of those videos. I'm not convinced that the takedowns are legit just yet, but that certainly would be quite ironic if Simmons and KISS got caught for copyright infringement themselves, following Simmons' own statements.
Every little college kid, every freshly-scrubbed little kid's face should have been sued off the face of the earth. They should have taken their houses and cars and nipped it right there in the beginning. Those kids are putting 100,000 to a million people out of work.Of course, that resulted in the "group" Anonymous taking down his website, which resulted in more angry claims from Simmons. So, it's interesting to note, via THREsq, that the official KISS YouTube channel has apparently been taken down for copyright infringement, leading to videos embedded on the band's official website to show the following message:

A quick Google search is...well....odd. Most of the stuff that comes up about them concerns a 1950's show called "Mr. Peepers" and an R rated movie called "Fugitive Girls".
Mr. Peepers....and Fugitive Girls.
I think I may like this company....
