Yes, another Operation, and you know what that means… Someone has pissed /b/ off.

This time, that someone is Gene Simmons of KISS fame, his son, and pretty much every music company that sues people for sharing music.

They've got a website and a poster

Nick Simmons

"Bleach fans have been outraged to learn that the comic has apparently been the subject of shameless plagiarism in the American comic book “Incarnate” by Nick Simmons.

Nick Simmons, whose main claim to fame is being the son of elderly washed up celebrity Gene Simmons, has attempted to launch a career as comic book artist with the release of his undead action comic “Incarnate,” but it seems the whole process was either too difficult or too much work, for readers soon spotted some rather striking similarities between his work and Bleach:"

Their goals so far are getting Nick Simmons in trouble for copying Bleach, pissing Gene Simmons off, and their over-arching goal of saving The Pirate Bay

This is a thread to post any new occurrences to if you guys happen to spot anything.

Bumping with more articles and info.

Operation: Payback has actually been going on for over a month, with it first becoming really active around September 17th.

They have hacked multiple websites and caused hundreds of hours of downtime across many major media outlets.

So this isn't just about Gene Simmons, this is actually a really big thing.
