"Make sure your brand is protected," Simmons warned during a

. "Make sure there are no incursions. Be litigious. Sue everybody. Take their homes, their cars. Don't let anybody cross that line."

And that includes all those naughty girls and boys with their BitTorrent and Limewire kits. Double for them, in fact.

"The music industry was asleep at the wheel," Simmons complained, "and didn't have the balls to sue every fresh-faced, freckle-faced college kid who downloaded material. And so now we're left with hundreds of thousands of people without jobs. There's no industry."

Right because I suppose he's had to worry about losing his job or money.

Screw'em. If he thinks music industry was asleep at the wheel after al the BS they have beeen causing, then I say anyone who wanted more lawsuits needs to be shot to save the internet.

If i could be bothered, which i'm not, i'd download their entire back catalogue just to spite 'im. But then id not listen to it cos they old hat crap anyway. come to think of it, cant think of any one who i know might want the back catalogue anyway.
