Moore Approves Fahrenheit 9/11 Downloads

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the opening-a-can-of-worms dept.

13.7BillionYears writes "The Sunday Herald reports that Michael Moore has expressed his approval of Fahrenheit 9/11 being downloaded through networks like BitTorrent and eDonkey2000. He also champions a very Lessig-esque outlook in his reasoning. Quentin Tarantino's earlier support for such practices is also mentioned. Meanwhile, Lion's Gate says it has no plans to oppose the practice."

  1. Re:My Rebuttal to Moore's Movie by Distinguished+Hero · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    I ask you, how can a comment praising Fahrenheit 9/11 without providing any supporting proof be modded +5 informative, while a comment questioning the validity of the movie is modded down into oblivion as Overrated? Are Moore supporters so unwilling to allow anyone to question any of the points presented in the "documentary" which has somehow attained the status of scripture? Read my whole rebuttal and point out where I am wrong; modding down a person's opinion instead of rebutting it is nothing more than cowardice, akin to asking for Fahrenheit 9/11 to be banned from all movie theatres.

    I recommend the ABC BitTorrent client for Windows, too.

    Two other movies and 35 recently published books support everything Michael Moore says in Fahrenheit 9/11 about U.S. government corruption, and much, much more:

    Unprecedented Corruption: A guide to conflict of interest in the U.S. government. Problems with Slashdotted? Try http://www.hevanet.com/peace/usgovcorruption.htm

    There were several books published before and during the Clinton administration about former U.S. President Bill Clinton. However, the situation with Clinton and previous presidents was not even remotely comparable. There are many more books discussing the Bush administration, and the negative issues are far, far more serious.

    Both of the other movies, Uncovered: The Whole Truth about the Iraq War and Unprecedented - 2000 Presidential Election are available by BitTorrent, also.

    There are links to reviews of all the movies and books in the article linked above, but no BitTorrent links yet.
