- Fhwqhgads, on 10/06/2008, -3/+61That is what his next movie should be about.
- inactive, on 10/07/2008, -5/+54make a movie about the ***** anti-piracy lobby Moore, oh snap.. then it won't be released because the MPAA will try and stop you..
- hnazareth16, on 10/06/2008, -17/+66While I applaud Moore for doing this, he has guts to even imply he did it on purpose. It could land him in legal trouble, considering he only owns the rights for the U.S. and Canada.
I love you, Moore. Don't get sued. - ismoke, on 10/06/2008, -3/+39“What do you think I’m up to? I know it may not be obvious to most, but I think you guys get it”
Oh, we get it! - dartmanx, on 10/07/2008, -2/+16I'm waiting for his hard-hitting documentary about the evils of eating a salad.
- mildewmedia, on 10/07/2008, -0/+13Slacker Uprising isn't really a movie anyway. It's really poorly put together, and there is a reason it's being given away. It's like one long YouTube video.
This coming from a guy who likes watching Moores stuff. - Zippo, on 10/07/2008, -2/+14***** the MPAA... put it up on the Internets
- SpeedSteamBoat, on 10/07/2008, -0/+12I hate to say it, but it appears you accidentally your whole comment.
- cnot3, on 10/07/2008, -16/+27So, he can't even give away tickets to his movies anymore? Good.
- inactive, on 10/07/2008, -1/+12I stopped willingly playing that game when I was 8.
- whoreable, on 10/07/2008, -8/+18Releasing your movie via torrents is like letting Michael Jackson babysit. What did you think was going to happen?
- inactive, on 10/07/2008, -0/+10How many times since then have you unwillingly played it??
- hnazareth16, on 10/06/2008, -1/+11Yes, but he claimed it was only for people in the U.S. and Canada. Of course, we all knew that was BS, but here he's admitting to knowingly circumventing the "rights ownership" issue.
I doubt he will be sued, but it's not a smart thing to do. - inactive, on 10/07/2008, -0/+10Slacker Uprising = Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah (vote for Obama)
I'm not saying I hate Moore, but that's what Slacker Uprising consists of. - Zippo, on 10/07/2008, -3/+13Good to see someone finally getting it.
- OuijaCat, on 10/07/2008, -2/+12For the Second time, today this story has hit the front page:
http://digg.com/movies/Michael_Moore_on_Slacker_Up ... - Silverbird, on 10/07/2008, -0/+9This "movie" was a strung-together collection of concert-footage and interviews that had little point. Probably the worst movie he has ever done. As for pirating it? Please. It's a transparent attempt to get young people to vote for Obama, and at this I think it fails miserably.
- alpha94, on 10/07/2008, -2/+11It's really just a following of how he was campaigning for Kerry across campuses in the US and calling out the people who tried to stop him. Nothing more than that.
- brstilson, on 10/07/2008, -2/+10I saw Slacker Uprising, but I failed to see the point of it. Sure, he went around and gave people free underwear and noodles so they would vote, and they all voted, but it didn't work because Kerry lost anyway. Big ***** deal.
- RMoore08, on 10/07/2008, -2/+10I love people like this.
- happytrees, on 10/07/2008, -4/+11he never said he didn't want to make a living... he's arguing for the right to share something you legally own, not giving everything away for free.
there's a difference. - PleaseJustDie, on 10/07/2008, -4/+11That's why he has to give it away.
Some people will download and watch it just because it is free. - billymeade, on 10/07/2008, -0/+6Sigh. Why is it that any attack on the left political spectrum automatically means you support the right political spectrum? It's possible that PleaseJustDie sees Mr. Moore as an overhyped windbag.
- Matt2k, on 10/07/2008, -11/+17If Michael Moore really cared about giving it away for free, he would. There's nothing stopping him from making a public domain movie. Instead he panders to the "pirates" and "Ohhhhh. I wish I could stop the people who funded me and I sold publishing rights too." End of story. Michael, you want your movie to be seen by as many as possible? Stop making commitments to people who fund your movies and selling publishing rights.
- inactive, on 10/07/2008, -2/+8I've seen it and it wasn't worth downloading let alone watching. Some of his work is mildly interesting but this was nothing but a hastily thrown together montage of him complaining leading up to the last presidential election.
- Baryn, on 10/07/2008, -1/+6Michael Moore is a piece of ***** who should drive his Hot Dog Van to Canada.
- hmmmok, on 10/07/2008, -0/+5It's a weak analogy, because he can only give the book to one person at a time. But then again, he's made a career out of weak analogies.
- steelhooves90, on 10/07/2008, -1/+6His neck looks like my balls. Only sweatier...
- maninalift, on 10/07/2008, -1/+6I agree to some extent. He got got funding in exchange for rights to the film and now he is trying to pull the rug from under the feet of the funders and present himself as a sort of Robin Hood.
On the other hand he is making a point about the way the media rights industry works. And in the end, whatever effect it has, it only comes down to his making a point really, the film would have been on TPB anyway. - dippyskoodlez, on 10/07/2008, -2/+7It looks like noone even read the article, they're just complaining about a ***** movie.
I think moore's trying to bring up the point that just because rights exist in the US and or canada, the internet is a global terrain for all people, and we need to revise copyright laws because times are changing, and the internet is changing.
Downloading the movie would be illegal outside of the US, but if you're not in the US, do US laws apply?
I think thats his point. To confuse the ***** out of lawmakers. - bagofice, on 10/07/2008, -1/+6Him and Rob Reiner are society's turds that just won't flush...
- getbusyliving, on 10/07/2008, -2/+7How is 'Slacker Uprising' anyway? Anyone seen it?
- str8danks, on 10/07/2008, -0/+4That is a good idea giving the world a free movie. Its too bad his movies suck...
- HereticKings, on 10/07/2008, -0/+4insomniac8400, that's not how the film business works. Rights to distribute, rights to use, and rights of ownership are negotiable things and do not all inherently belong to the director, in fact they almost never belong to the director fully-- Whatever production company/investors that this film has [Assuming that he didn't just fund all of it himself], they would have a say in these matters... even if he owns all rights to the U.S. and Canada, there are other considerations.
However, nobody can sue him for what people choose to steal from him, unless he outright admits to intending to make it possible for them to steal it. - mpdono, on 10/07/2008, -4/+8Michael Moore is an ass. Burried for mentioning his name.
- Neo829, on 10/07/2008, -0/+4"People with an IQ above that of a sea slug may find his films informative and have no real challenge recognizing Moore's exuberance."
exuberant: extreme or excessive in degree, size, or extent.
Well, one out of three isn't bad. - inactive, on 10/07/2008, -2/+6I think he meant he wants to spoon him.
- highwebl, on 10/07/2008, -1/+4They would just rate it NC17.
- NonLeftistDiggr, on 10/07/2008, -1/+4Is that a joke? you have no idea how hard a republican rally gets crashed. In St Paul the police broke up a ring of people planning to protest the repub convention with feces and urine bombs.
- Recidivus, on 10/07/2008, -0/+3Didn't someone already do that, with Steal This Film?
- BotaXero, on 10/07/2008, -22/+25He forgets one material point: No one really wants to see his movie.
- pauldy, on 10/07/2008, -6/+9Digtards digg the fat man.
- Matt2k, on 10/07/2008, -0/+3Ok, he never said he didn't want to make a living. He's just arguing for the right to share something he owns. Which is.. Get ready for this: A right he already has.
There is nothing wrong with copyright laws because there is nothing that forces you to take shelter under them should you choose not to do so.
Nothing you wrote addresses any of my points in any manner. It's just a sequence of feel-good fragments that the piracy movement parrots at appropriate times. Not a cohesive argument.
Wait. I can play this game too. He wants to make a living by making movies. Then obviously he should be touring the country and selling t-shirts and consulting on making more movies. Because at the end of the day, the only thing that really matters in life is if other people like you. - acednothing, on 10/07/2008, -1/+4I have always though Michael Moore was a liberal pompous buffoon. I still believe he is a left-wing, loony tunes liberal but, outside of politics, the man has earned a lot of my respect.
- leif77, on 10/07/2008, -2/+5I clicked "More" to get Moore's response and all i got were these silly comments.
- ParanoydAndroid, on 10/07/2008, -0/+3I'll watch his movie, because it's free and it may have some startling or informative moments. But generally speaking, I find Michael Moore to be pompous, and a purveyor of much of the same propaganda he spears others for using.
I'm not a Republican (by far), and I would like to believe my IQ is probably higher than a sea slug, but boy I do find him distasteful. - nkstn, on 10/07/2008, -1/+4He usually has good ideas , but that was one boring movie!! Watched about 40mins and deleted it. Definitely doesn't compare to his other documentaries.
- surferjoemaui, on 10/07/2008, -0/+2Well I know that I for one will erase it from my hard drive when I've finished watching it, so it isn't wasting space, so I guess in a way the answer is -- YES.
- russ3, on 10/07/2008, -3/+5What do foreigners even want to see this movie for? It's outdated and non-informative.
- cnot3, on 10/07/2008, -5/+7He won't get sued, he's in the Film Actors Guild.
