Michael Moore on Filesharing

msnbc reports:
A June 27 posting on the site MooreWatch.com invites visitors to download the film. It quotes Moore, though it doesn’t cite a source, as encouraging such downloading by saying: “I don’t agree with the copyright laws, and I don’t have a problem with people downloading the movie and sharing it with people. As long as they’re not doing it to make a profit, you know, as long as they’re not trying to make a profit off my labor. I would oppose that.”
Apparently, the site is down so I couldn't download the movie, but the trailer is here [via One Reaction] and the transcript of F911 can be found here.

Update: Brenda Stardom's Open Letter asks Michel Moore to put his money where his mouth is and make his movie available for download on the net now.
