What a beautiful day it would be..... to see Moore loose about 90% of his gross sales in a lawsuit over this. I'll betcha a dollar... more people start coming forward with footage that was not "authorized."

How many are required for a class action lawsuit? Is it 3?

I bet there could be a class action certified of people whose legal rights Moore has violated in his films.

When we do license footage — as in this instance — NBC includes a provision that it is the responsibility of the licensee, not NBC, to obtain all required consents and releases necessary to use the footage," she wrote.

Nice punt. Is it just me or did this woman just try and wash her hands of this footage to avoid a lawsuit?

Don't suppose there could be a class action for us Michigan residents who have been disgraced and embarrassed by his hugeness.

Peter Damon lost his right arm near the shoulder and his left arm above the wrist when a tire he was helping change on a Blackhawk helicopter exploded in Balad, Iraq, on Oct. 21.

Not to diminish the man’s lost or services but if this is from a non combat accident … what Moore point to include it in F911 or is this misrepresented as from combat by the disingenuous Moore…. By that same logic Moore could show any grievously injured person from any source and say....“See what Bush’s war did”

Yes, but remember, Moore supports exploits the troops.

Why a class action? Moore's lawyer just has to fight one lawyer and if the plaintiffs win they get a buck-o-five. I'd go after him one lawsuit at a time for maximum effect.

Sounds like that would fall under "pain and suffering".

Right after somebody with a KIA or WIA family member (whose images are used not only without the permission of the family or wounded veteran...but in such a way to depict their agreement with that fat bass turd Michael Moore anti war anti Pres Bush 'sentiments')...beats the living crap out of him...

Moore truly is a maggot (in the WWII sense) living off the flesh of the dead and wounded
(maggots however actually have a useful purpose...Moore does not)

Even better. Maybe the alphabets would give it the same coverage as Scott Peterson. ;)

LAWSUITS WAITING TO HAPPEN:

1. ray bradbury (who will be on hannity and colmes tonight) for the use of his book title "fahrenheit **1" WITHOUT PERMISSION

2. footage of the funeral and fiancee of the major who was murdered by the muslim soldier

3. use of pete townshend's song

4.footage of this wounded soldier

SUE MICHAEL MOORE and donate proceeds from the lawsuit, and thus the profits of this abominable movie, to the children of killed and wounded soldiers

Unlike his earlier documentaries, Michael Moore does not appear in this film, from what I have heard. Steyn points out that he did this not because he is any less an egotist than he has always been, but because it enabled him to do stealth interviews or incorporate bits of other people's interviews without proper warning or acknowledgement.

The mother of one soldier killed in Iraq has called Moore "a maggot who feeds on the dead" for doing this kind of thing--essentially ripping people's grief off for fun and profit and political gain.

He should indeed be sued. Maybe some tiger of a trial lawyer should start a class action lawsuit on behalf of all those portrayed in the film without their knowledge or consent, damaging their reputations and their future careers.

On that note, I understand from the LarsLarson show that Moore's last crockumentay showed the funeral of Maj. Greg Stone, killed by the handgrenade in Kuwait, flung by the Islamo recruit. Stones niece, Candy Gallagher called in and said no one in the family was contacted by Moore and felt he misrepresented what her brother's message would have been. They showed the fiance kissing his casket, etc. and twisted it to suit their agenda. Maj. Stone's family is very upset.

Lars probably has more of this on his website: www.larslarson.com

Yep. I've been hoping NBC would go after Moore for breaching the license agreement.
