Unless he made the movie entirely on his own dime, it’s not exactly ‘his’ movie, just as when one sells stock in one’s company, it’s no longer just that person’s company, either. He may have enough money to suit himself, and finds the whole thing entertaining. Or he may be wanting to film the resulting brawl between the lawyers. Time will tell. If the world ends in a nuclear holocaust, there will be precisely three lifeforms left — cockroaches, scorpions and lawyers.. Heaven help the cockroaches and the scorpions.

Moore just wants to make his movie available for free to anyone in the world, I don’t see how this can be a bad thing. It is HIS movie, after all… stupid copyright laws.

This is more of a problem with whom he has sold the international rights too. These people would be within their rights to sue Mr. Moore for devaluing their property.

A movie about downloading/RIAA/MPAA/copyright would’ve been timely – in 2004. Sure, there’s still a lot of controversy over this in legal circles, but the general public just doesn’t care any more. P2P downloading is still alive and well, it just went deeper underground. It’s no longer a hot-button issue for the average punter.

Nice ! I really like Moore’s movies, I’d have been disappointed if not being able to see the last one ;)
