More on Sicko being pulled from YouTube

Reuters is reporting the story behind Sicko being pulled from YouTube. Here's the two best quotes from the article:

"Every DVD screener that comes from the Weinstein Co. is watermarked and traceable," Weinstein Co. general counsel Peter Hurwitz said. "We are actively investigating who illegally uploaded 'Sicko' to the Internet, and we will take appropriate action against that person(s)."

"I think the music industry's response to Napster was misguided ... and for me, it's about getting people to see the movie and that's what I want, so they will talk about it," Moore recently told Brandweek magazine. "I would never want to prosecute anybody who would download (his film)."

Granted, one is complaining about the uploaders, while the other is defending the downloaders, but you can't have one without the other.
