When this movie was playing in the theatres, although I didn’t go to see it, after watching another movie, I would always venture into into the fahrenheit movie and make a nuisance of myself. I would sit in the back row, and yell pig everytime they showed Michael Moore’s face.

I think it would be great if Sgt. Peter Damon won this lawsuit. Apparently he plans to donate a portion or all of this money to war veterans that need it. Michael Moore has been making too much money off of other people’s misfortunes for way to long. Michael Moore is anti-american, and a cheat and a liar. My Best wishes to Sgt. Peter Damon.

- Actually CZ, I’m thinking his efforts, coupled with others like others such as the Mapes/Rather scam, helped Bush get elected. I can’t prove it, but in talking to some of my Independent party friends, and a few others, Liberals that “crossed over”, I got the distinct feeling they were uncomfortable with all the propagandizing, and outright lying they saw during the campaign. Running a candidate that was so feckless he couldn’t allow his military record to be made public in a simple forthright way, didn’t help either. Then there was the debacle of Edwards and Lurch both making those tendentious, gratuitis, totally unecessary statements about Cheney’s daughter in front of the entire nation. I think that was the straw for many voters, even though they were not all that enamored with Bush.

I find it odd that Mooreon has been all but invisible since December 2004. For a few years prior to that he was everywhere. Any idea what happened? I heard rumors that he went somewhere to lose weight. But common sense tells me he is downright embarrassed of how ineffective his socialist propaganda is in influencing an election. Just a guess…

“Doesn’t matter if ABC had a release”

Its NBC. and Why not? I would think that it would be standard practice for them to get full rights. Which would allow them to relicense things. So it would matter.

“If that were the case, anyone could ride someone elses shirt tails on a copyright release, which is silly.”

It depends on what the “release” says.

“I wish Rumsfeld was his hero. ”

That would be Daniel Ellsberg.

Michael Moore a legal victim of his editing.

Michael Moore has a long history of creative editing, in that he edits a scene for his movie to make it mean something out of context to what was filmed. He calls it editing. We call it lying and deception.
That he does so a…

A Soldier vs Michael Moore, Inc.

I have no idea what the Soldier’s chances are against the mega-millions Michael Moore can throw into legal fees. Isn’t that ironic? Michael Moore who proclaims himself the champion of the little man is anything BUT a little man himself.

- tort belli – settled caselaw in mass

- I repeat…. Doesn’t matter if ABC had a release….Third, or more properly, any other extended use is not covered. If that were the case, anyone could ride someone elses shirt tails on a copyright release, which is silly.

“The Fedral courts have ruled that all forms of communicated material are protected automatically by copyright law, in author ownership.”

Actually its statute, not the courts, that say that any original work of authorship fixed in a tangible medium of expression is entitled to copyright protection.

But I would think that NBC News would have the copyright here.

“The fact that most people do not, or have no reason, to raise an objection to used material without release, does not in anyway obviate the law”

I’d be surprised if NBC News didn’t get releases from the people they interviewed.

“tort Belli”

Please tell me where you learned this one.

“He’ll settle, unless his lawyers are stupid.”

He might settle because litigation is pricy.

- Moores defense will be the “Fair use” principle. But he will lose that in primary, tort Belli, because he intentionally misrepresented the authors positions, and because his use was in a commercial venture. He would also lose on appeal for the same reasons. He’ll settle, unless his lawyers are stupid.

- The fact that most people do not, or have no reason, to raise an objection to used material without release, does not in anyway obviate the law. If you use something without proper consents, and they decide to come after you, you’re had.

-Doesn’t matter andrew. The Fedral courts have ruled that all forms of communicated material are protected automatically by copyright law, in author ownership. Any commercial use, without the express consent of the author, is prohibited. Commercial interests that use such material or likeness’s do so at their own risk, sans a verbal or written release, and if its verbal you better be able to corroberate it. Third party does not eleviate you that responsibility, which the court would say Moore knew, or should have known with due diligence. He’s toast.
