Fahrenheit 9/11

Not only the film is controversial... Also Moore's statement that is can be distributed for free, he won't press charges against people.
The controversial film--like virtually every new release--has been circulating online for days.
The online flap may say more about the often-conflicting desires of creators and their business agents than it does about the political debate over Moore's film. While studios and record labels have uniformly excoriated unauthorized sharing of movies and music online, many artists--particularly those eager for the propagation of their political messages--have sent more mixed messages.
Moore's own comments came in an interview, clips of which have been floating around the Net at least since January.
"I don't agree with copyright laws, and I don't have a problem with people downloading the movie and sharing it...as long as they're not trying to make a profit off my labor," Moore said in that interview, comparing file sharing to a person sharing a purchased DVD with a friend. "I make these movies and books and TV shows because I want things to change, and so the more people who get to see them, the better."
