An open letter to Michael Moore

[gtRFan]

Mike;

Just some simple questions, if you're so committed to removing George W. Bush out of the office, then why not distribute your DVDs (Fahrenheit 9/11) freely, or even at a dirt cheap price (cost). You've made enough money off the movie, when do you think it's time to spend some of it on a really good cause? Are you waiting for four more years so you can make other movies?

I know you might not own the distribution license to freely distribute the DVDs, but I'm sure with the money you've made from the theatrical release of the movie, you can spend some millions and buy those DVDs and give them out, what do you think? If I made as much money as you have on something that I'm deeply committed to, I won't mind parting with the proceeds so that I can get my point accross. Just a thought, let me know if you need help distributing these DVDs, I'll volunteer my time.

I was bored too...I sent an e-mail to Moore yesterday and asked about something similar.

Moore did respond at a rally last night (another thread) that Piracy was OK with him "Burn baby, burn" when asked.

 

[Infohawk]

Interesting. Maybe someone could set up a fund to buy them and give them away (if that's legal).

 

[Pliablemoose]

I just watched Fahrenheit 9/11 2X, I'm still not voting against Bush, guess my liberal blinders kept me from seeing the "truth"

IMHO, Fahrenheit 9/11 doesn't make that great a difference unless it's your only source of information & were leaning that way to begin with.

 

[Czar]

didnt he distribute it through bittorret a while ago and is planing on further internet distribution?

 

[Slick5150]

FYI

He did give away a bunch of copies at a rally around here recently.

 

[daveshel]

He is doing what he can to give everybody an opportunity to see it - he isn't the sole owner after all.

Meh. I'd just like him to just answer mine and the probably several others' responses to his "Open Letter" to Bill Timmins from a few months ago. I made sure to ask him if he even understood what our Constitution said and meant, as that letter of his indicates that he does not.

He is but an ignorant fraud, who lies and twists our principles and freedoms to support his agenda, And the truly ironic thing is that's exactly what he's accusing the Administration of being and doing! Maybe he simply subscribes to the notion that "two wrongs make a right." Or perhaps "it takes one to know one" is more fitting.

Fight fire with fire. The difference is, with Moore we are talking about a movie (entertainment). With the Bush administration we are talking about soldiers lives, our economy, our environment, and our integrity as a country (things that matter). You decide which is more important.


You people wouldn't be so mad at Moore if he was a washout and didn't raise at least a few good questions. Republicans brought the whole F911 craze upon themselves and I don't feel the least bit sorry for them.

I think most people that can use the internet would know hot to get the movie, it's more important for the people that don't use the internet to get their hands on some.

Actually, I'm not talking about a movie at all - I'm talking about his "Open Letter" in which he demonstrated his lack of familiarity with the First Amendment and it's meaning. Did you even read that letter? What about this line: "But neither they nor you have the right to remove her from your building when all she did was exercise her AMERICAN right to speak her mind." Of course he has that right! For Moore to think and speak otherwise shows his own ignorance.

Of course he raises some good questions, but they are unfortunately overshadowed by the many more really poor 'questions' he attempts to raise. Anyone with legitimate reasons to want Bush out of office would do well to distance themselves from this man (as many do.) Just because he happens to support some of their beliefs doesn't mean that he is a valuable ally. And I don't think too many Republicans are asking for your sympathy.

Pssstttt...... the letters were fake...

My bad. I read the letter but I mistook your second statement to be about his movie. Honestly I don't care for the guy. However, if he happens to convince some undecided people out there to vote against Bush then more power to him. Our country needs all the help we can get to free us from this neocon ball and chain of an administration.

An open letter to Michael Moore

Hey Dude, lay off the Bon Bons and hit the Gym!

He did say in a public interview, that he had NO problem with people downloading his movies off the internet.

As I have said in the other thread, the people that have resources to information are the least of my concerns. The other people that will be spoon fed the "Sinclair truth" are what I would have more interest in.

That is fine to say that but I wonder what the studio's position or the MPAA has to say about that, of course if they found it on your computer you would be fine, haha.

Unfortunately U.S. Copyright law does not recognize his opinion as vaild. I doubt he owns the legal rights to the publication either. To tell someone its ok to burn the copy is advocating an illegal act, and he should be more keen to that fact. Someone listening to him could find themselves in some deep sh!t.

You are really missing the boat if you think entertainment doesn't affect all of the things you mention. Moore gives the enemy hope and the strength to fight.

brilliant
... except for one thing ... who was at the helm when these [F?]911 plans were hatched? study your history before you rewrite it ... americans overseas remember the truth
