You assume that people delete files before passing them on.

Person A: (bought movie, watched it, gave it to person B, C, D, deleted it.)
Person B: (watched it, deleted it.)
Person C: (watched it, deleted it.)
Person D. (watched it, as his computer burst into flames.)

As you can see, it doesn’t really matter how many copies there are.

This is typical of Michael Moore’s logic. He goes after the right subjects but does so in a very sloppy and inaccurate way.

“However, putting a movie on BitTorrent allows anyone to easily acquire the movie for free. I wonder how Michael Moore expects to make a living if he gives his movies away for free.”

there is a slight difference in what you said. you can give something totally for free, or give it with option for customers to buy it.

second, how to make living? NiN? Paulo Coelho? does that ring a bell?

but you are only one of two possible persons

1. moral preacher without knowledge background, aka ignorant

2. payed for starting same old stuff on p2p blog all the time running in circles

either way…. you get the point.

Person A: (bought book, read it, gave it to person B.)
Person B: (read it, gave it to person C.)
Person C: (read it, gave it to person D.)
Person D. (read it, as the book burst into flames.)

As you can see, it doesn’t really matter how many copies there are.
