BitTorrent To Release Michael Moore's New Film Free of Charge

In a stunning move, controversial documentary filmmaker Michael Moore announced today that his latest film, "Fahrenheit 9/11", will be released by BitTorrent, the popular peer-to-peer file-sharing network.

"This film deserves the widest possible distribution," said Moore, whose film won the Palme D'Or award at the Cannes Film Festival this past weekend. "I had hoped I could achieve that with Miramax and Disney, but such was not to be the case. I'm thrilled to announce that I have an even better solution. BitTorrent!" [Via Marc Canter]

Fuck me, sideways! That's one shoved up Disney's arse ;-) It'll be out on July 3rd. I'm sure it'll be a pretty busy day for networks, though because of BT's networking strengths, it'll be a really fast download on my 3 meg pipe.

Damn, you just can't trust bloggers, it appears to be a joke. "Denounce is a satire website specialising in false press releases that are meant to neither inform nor educate."

Pity.
