Moore: Pirate my Film, No Problem
It’s no surprise when Michael Moore stirs up controversy, and this time he is proving many of his opponents wrong, setting a precedent which will be followed by few of his stature. Moore’s biggest critics have argued that Michael Moore himself is only out to profit from the events of 9/11. Perhaps responding to criticism:
“The activist, author and director told the Sunday Herald that, as long as pirated copies of his film were not being sold, he had no problem with it being downloaded.”
“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 trying to make a profit off my labour. I would oppose that,” he said.
We never thought we’d see the day where a director openly embraces technology that potentially takes money out of their pockets, but hey, we approve - so fire up your Bittorrent clients (if you haven’t done so already).
