#1 Well, I am for this guy suing the skin off Moore's ass (or appropriate chunk of moolah--$1000 per square millimeter). Same, as Al-Jihadiyya is concerned.

#2 Damn, when your career goes ice-cold in Hollywood, it's brutal. First no Oscar nods, then this. Good thing Mikey will always have donuts.....

#3 Wonder if this will result in some kind of fatwa . . .

#4 Mooreâs next project, a film called Sicko....
Is that an autobiography?

#5 Moore's defense: The Images are so far in the Public Domain and subscribed to posterity, that compensation to Essam Deraz would be tantamount to "fining history for it's own revelations". Even the Zapruder film could only be sold for viewing only once!

#6 Moore is full of bullshit if he is claiming Public Domain. The stuff was copyrighted under international and US law the second Deraz filmed it. Using it without permission, attribution or compensation will get you in a world of hurt. Mr Moore is about the find out that his lawyers are wrong. He may have a deal with Al Jiz but if they don't own what he claims he gave them he is double plus screwed. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

#7 Well...sounds like the guy should really take his case up with al-Jazeera. Though, suing them in an Egyptian and Qatari court could prove...troublesome. Much better to use the American system to go after a target with lots of money.

And jeez, the movie's been out for a good while now. Couldn't he have said something a bit earlier, like, say, two days before the DVD release date?
