Other Crap

Moore's enemies offer Fahrenheit 9/11 for free. I have to say that these lads are not the brightest bulbs on the tree. "Let's see, boys. His film is propaganda (check), we oppose his ideas (check), so let's give it for free to the entire world (check)." Makes a lot of sense, doesn't it? That may cause some (minor) economic pain to distributors and theater owners, but it sure as hell doesn't hurt Moore, who cares less about the money than getting his message to the world and unseating the President. They get the Bill O'Reilly Publicity Award, named after the Fox News personality who single-handedly turned Al Franken's incredibly lame book into a national best seller by making the whole world aware of it for free. Except these guys are far duller than O'Reilly, who did not commit a crime in the process!

• Moore himself is supposed to have said, “I don’t agree with the copyright laws, and I don’t have a problem with people downloading the movie and sharing it with people. As long as they’re not doing it to make a profit, you know, as long as they’re not trying to make a profit off my labor.”
• It is not clear when or whether Moore actually said that, but Moore's distributors certainly do not agree with his sentiments, and will seek prosecution.
