Michael Moore's new documentary "Sicko" leaked on BitTorrent
http://www.zeropaid.com/news/8846/Michael+Moore%27s+new+documentary+%22Sicko%22+leaked+on+BitTorrent

A couple of days ago it was reported that Michael Moore had decided to stash a copy of his latest and greatest documentary "Sicko," an apparently scathing expose on the US healthcare system, in Canada just in case the Feds decided to confiscate it.

He feared such a seizure because of the fact that part of the documentary was filmed in Cuba without proper authorization from the US Treasury Department. Its illegal for US citizens to travel to Cuba because of a trade embargo in place since 1962.

Moore insists he hasn't broken any laws because he traveled to Cuba for a "journalistic endeavor."

"We brought back 15 minutes of the movie and we're concerned about any possible confiscation efforts," Moore told a news conference in New York.

1. It seems here piracy ended up saving Michael Moore from the federal government.
The Dept. of Treasury would be wasting time trying to take his movie from him at this point.

2. Moore needs to take on the DO Treasury.

Of course their Cuba policy is based on political considerations just as is their selection of Federal DA's. It is an assault on all our liberties. We need get behind Moore on this issue, because it is an attack on all our liberties.
