Michael Moore Vs. Bittorrent

So Bittorrent tracker Torrentbox.com has been served with a Cease and Desist letter from the MPAA. In document number three (listing examples of infringing material) we find this little gem :

I guess the Warner Brothers haven't gotten Michael Moore's memo regarding his personal approval of piracy of his films.
“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 trying to make a profit off my labour. I would oppose that,” he said.

Or maybe this stance only applies to movies which are dishonest and manipulative hatchet jobs performed on a candidate during an election year.

Ah, capitalism, thy name is Moore!

(Yes, yes, I know.. Warner Legal and Michael Moore inhabit two different universes. Let me talk some trash and have a larf, eh?)
