Gene Simmons to Sex Site: Suck My Copyright!

Posted Feb 21st 2008 5:47PM by TMZ Staff

Gene SimmonsGene Simmons' legal team has taken an ingenious first step in shutting down a website featuring a video that shows Gene in a sex act with a woman who is not his longtime girlfriend, Shannon Tweed.

We're told Gene's lawyers contacted Webmastercentral.com, which is responsible for the content on the website promoting the video -- ordering them to cease and desist because of copyright infringement. How, you ask, is this copyright infringement? Gene's lawyers claim the site had no right to use face paint to promote the skin flick, because face paint is a KISS thing.

And now we're being told, the tape is old and the copyright owner is ... drum roll ... Gene Simmons! Apparently, Gene got wind of the tape a few years back and bought the rights. Who's the apprentice now?

BTW, the tape was shot without Simmons' permission or knowledge -- and may well be illegal. That's why TMZ hasn't run it.

62. UGH!
He should have put that shirt over his head.
It represents a whole new genre in amateur (that's what I said, amateur) porn.
I don't wanna see his elderly butt.

64. The only sex tape worse than Gene's half-hearted hump is Kim K Superstar. Maybe Kardashian and Gene can make a sex tape to show us what truly bored people look like when bumping ugliness.

66. I am so disapointed. What a liar! I've allowed my family to watch his show and I feel betrayed. I would'be been willing to stand up for him if ever accused of something that actually involved intercourse wtih someone besides Shannon. Flirting and carrying on, even a BJ I would excuse, but this is over the top gross and parking lot truckstop realm. I wont be able to watch his show with his two kids and Shannon now. Even hearing his cute Jewish mom on his show I wont be able to do knowing what he's done behind all their backs. They are so normal and real and DID NOT deserve this. Shame on Gene Simmons. This would have to be the most expensive screw you've ever had in your life. This will hit you hard in the pocket book my friend.

69. I'm not buying his story that this is from along time ago. It sure isn't from before Shannon Tweed. I mean BIG CLUE FOLKS, look at the TV. Do you remember TV's looking like the one's sold today twenty years ago? I don't.... Anyways it's just either Gene doing one of two things, Publicity or trying to cover his butt cause he knows Shannon has him by the B@ll$ now.

70. TMZ is just afraid of Gene Simmons and the thought that he will own this site if they run it....whatever.

TMZ posts some of the craziest and tackiest stuff and they are afraid of Gene Simmons?

What's the worst that can happen? Gene buying TMZ?

Nothing worse than when TMZ gets all righteous about something hot in the news.

71. It's a recent video? A&E Drop that show!! I can't believe I even watched their face lifts! I am a fool!!!!!! :)

72. I saw this supposed sex tape, and it's the lamest---pun intended---tape I have ever seen. The tape of Joey Butt had more action! if I were Gene Simmons, I would have paid big bucks NOT to have this poor man's porn ever released. Even I was embarrassed for Gene and this doped up chick. It had all the passion of a high school slumber party. Shannon Tweed should kick his fat ass to the curb. He's disgusting.

73. Oh my gawd! This is recent? I can't believe I watched the series! I am so done with T.V.! Sophie, don't sell yourself short. Even with the birthmark you are BEAUTIFUL!!

74. Sophie and her mom are both smokin hot. And Sophie has a killer sense of humor. How in the hell did she come from this dinks DNA?

75. i watched the video.

it can now be proved that decades of gene's bragging was ALL TALK.

tiny in the pants, INCREDIBLY BORING in the sack.

HIS SEXUAL PERFORMANCE IS AS THRILLING AS LISTENING TO A DIAL TONE.
