There are over 3000 copies of Sicko on the internet
available for downloading, according to my source, who looked at only the most popular bit torrents. We were wondering why Moore has said that downloading the film for free was ok with him as long as the person didn't sell it--and then I watched the Letterman clip here. Do you suppose one reason Sicko is out there with Moore's ok is that he wants to make sure people see it even if Buscho is able to confiscate the film because Moore went to Cuba?

I hope Buscho realizes if they do stop the screenings of the film it will make it only more popular. Moore has pdf files at his website that are ads you can post for a home screening of the film-complete with petitions. Check it out at www.michaelmoore.com

And yes, I'm going to go to the premiere at the local movie theater. I want to see it on the big screen and not just the computer screen.

2. Moore seeks substantive change.
He knows that some who need to see the movie would never be caught dead being seen at a Michael Moore movie showing. On the other hand, they will watch that movie on a CD. Also, this is doing some great viral marketing for the movie. Most people have no idea what a torrent file is or how to use one. But they are hearing the talk and that free publicity.

The amount of caterwauling I expected I would be hearing by now, from the healthcare pirates, has yet to materialize. You can bet they have seen the movie.

Perhaps they recognize that anything they do, to attack Moore, is just gonna make them look worse. If that is possible.

3. I was wondering why sicko was available as a DVDrip
I was searching for sicko torrents yesterday and I refrained from downloading one because I
didn't see how it could be available as a dvdrip.

Now I know.
I'll download it now.
