Robert Greenwald urging unauthorised copying of "Uncovered"

In the midst of a film industry crackdown on digital movie piracy, filmmaker Robert Greenwald is urging rampant, unauthorised copying of his documentary criticising the Bush administration's reasons for invading Iraq.

The 56-minute film, ``Uncovered: The Whole Truth about the Iraq War,'' concludes that President George W. Bush and his team distorted intelligence data and misled the American public ahead of the March invasion that toppled the regime of Saddam Hussein.

Greenwald has bypassed movie theatres and television, and instead has organised ``parlor screenings'' in thousands of homes across the United States with the help of Internet-based liberal advocacy group, MoveOn.org.

People attending can buy DVD or VHS copies that they in turn are urged to reproduce and pass along for free to others.

``You have my permission to give it away. This film is meant to be a tool, so you will take it and do with it as you will,'' Greenwald implored a recent audience in Los Angeles.

for everybody, not just those on the left

nt

some scenes from the first gulf war, also

Downloaded via Kazaa. The only copy I could get was encoded in xvid codec (windows media player 9wouldn't play it until I got the proper codec). Anyhow, really powerful and lays out an ironclad case against the war and against this administration.

Man, I wish this could be broadcast in prime time...

but not in our Reich Wing Murica, it will never happen.... :grr:
