Kiss: Illegal file sharing is 'immoral'
People who illegally download music on the internet are preventing talented bands from achieving success, Kiss have said.
The band's co-frontmen Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley have hit out at fans that attempt to get hold of songs for free, saying it is akin to stealing.
Speaking to the Daily Star, Stanley said: "It's immoral. The idea that you're sharing files - you can't share something you don't own. It's like saying I'm gonna share your transportation and then steal your car."
Simmons added: "The fans downloading for free are responsible for killing the next Kiss, U2 or The Beatles."
It is the second time in recent weeks the band have criticised illegal file sharing of their music.
In an interview with rushonrock.com, Simmons claimed that one of the reasons Kiss had signed a distribution deal for their latest album with US supermarket giant Wal-Mart was to prevent people downloading it for free.
Kiss are currently on a European tour and play the SECC in Glasgow this Sunday (May 9th).
