Gene Simmons+ Sex Tape = Copyright Infringement?
Gene Simmons may own the copyright to the sex tape that may or may not actually have him in it.
A sex tape of Gene Simmons and a woman who is not his longtime female companion or mother of his children has been released on the internet. So Gene Simmons is doing what any self respecting rock star would, he is suing for copyright infringement.
According to ABC News, Simmons posted this message on his website on Wednesday, "You may have heard or seen garbage that has sprung up from my past. Rest assured the proper legal team is looking at all ramifications and options."
TMZ claims that Simmons' lawyers are claiming that the website selling the sex video, genessecret.com, is using face make-up unlawfully. Apparently it is a Kiss things and that is not involved in the video.
Many reports claim that male in the video may not actually be Simmons but TMZ reports that Simmons actually has the copyright to the video. He got wind of it a few years ago and bought the copyright. Simmons was recently seen on Celebrity Apprentice.
