Watch Michael Moore's new film "Slacker Uprising" for free right here...
Mike just made his new film available for free online at this link:

At that link, there are five ways you can watch it free and without advertising:

blip.tv is providing streaming right from slackeruprising.com, free of commercials and advertising.
Amazon Video on Demand will provide a higher resolution version of the above stream for people with lots of bandwidth. It will be available in a few hours.

iTunes will make it easy for you to download "Slacker Uprising" on your iTunes, iPod, or Apple TV, and view it there or transmit it to your television. This way, the film can be portable as well as for home viewing. This will be available soon.

Hypernia is providing bandwidth and servers to host MPEG4 and DivX versions of "Slacker Uprising" online, so you can burn a DVD or download the film to watch on your computer, XBOX, or PS3.
Lycos is providing free streaming of the film and an on-demand version.

Stream it, download it, burn it now. It's the first time a major feature-length film is being released for free on the internet. You can be part of this historic moment by logging on now!

Enjoy!!

Michael Moore

3. It's working now. There might have been too many people connected
or some other weird shit.

I'm going to wait until morning.

4. They should have made it available for DL via BitTorrent.
That would use the collective bandwidth of thousands of Internet users, all transferring.

11. I am a little disappointed at being left out of the debates but still
my campaign polling shows a landslide victory. I expect Obama and McCain to drop out anyday now. That leaves me with Barr and Nader, and I got those guys.

12. I'm thinking Barr can't rassle to save his ass. Have Nader challenge him to a
match, you rassle the winner.

Nader, of course, is a wimp.


YOU WIN!!!!

10. Torrent: how to!
I will seed it myself once I have it.

The more seeders, the better.

I use Azureus, available at: http://azureus.sourceforge.net/

Once you have it installed, just click on the .torrent link and let Azureus do the rest.

It will take a bit out of your bandwidth, so you may want to throttle the Down speed a little.

I have crappy DSL :(

16. Thanks again, Wetzelbill!
I enjoyed it very much, even though I knew how the election turned out. The point the film makes is that the effort to drum up the youth vote is NOT pointless. A record 21 million young people voted for John Kerry. Barack Obama is inspiring our young people even more than the good Senator from Massachusetts. We must keep that inspiration going. We owe it to them.
