Gene Simmons to Sex Site: Suck My Copyright!

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

Gene 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.

91. If you people had read Gene Simmons' autobiography KISS and Tell, you would know that Gene has alwasy been a "male slut" when it comes to women. Hence Gene's 4,660 and counting record. :)

To all the female posters complaining about Gene's sexual conquests:

I bet you ladies would change your mind if Gene invited you to his huge mansion. :)

94. I don't care about the right-to-privacy implications or the legality; no I'm taking the low road like 99% of everyone else who is laughing off their chairs.

How could Shannon Tweed stand this guy for all those years? What an odd dichotomy of a long tongue and a tiny Willie with a bulging gut. The hot young babe in the video looks bored as heck. Gene clearly is "out-distanced" by Tommy Lee.

96. Well, I for one, would love to have a go at it with Gene. Sex is more than just doing weirdo things. He's just a normal guy really, has sex like any other guys who's done it a million times.

97. I'm so happy that I'm not a member of the 4500 club, What a lousy lay.

98. As Sharon Osborne said, Shannon's been passed around herself, starting with Hefner, on down to the booby prize, Simmons. No one that could do any better would stay with Simmons.

99. Guess what Gene....Shannon has had tons of men on the side, just like you have your women.

102. 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.

105. So if he owns the copyright, why are his lawyers arguing about face paint? He has every right to sue for copyright infringement without cooking up any other stupid reasons! This story sounds like a big crock of manure.
