Moore: pirate my film, no problem
By Iain S Bruce, Online Editor
[Excerpts]
Controversial film-maker Michael Moore has welcomed the appearance on the
internet of pirated copies of his anti-Bush documentary Fahrenheit 9/11 and
claimed he is happy for anybody to download it free of charge.
"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.
"I do well enough already and I made this film because I want the world, to
change. The more people who see it the better, so I'm happy this is
happening."
Distributed via websites such as suprnova.org, which lays claim to having
served more than 17 million downloads, Moore's documentary critique of the
Bush administration's red, white and blue rush into war with Iraq is among
the web's hottest properties.
Lions Gate says it has no plans to oppose the practice.
