I don't believe charging for the showing in Cuba would have generated much revenue anyway. If Michael Moore wasn't concerned with revenue why doesn't he allow bootleg DVD's? I guarantee he would prosecute anyone that posses a bootleg.

Michael Moore seemed to encourage the downloading of his movie from the internet. His DISTRIBUTOR was interested in box office take, Michael Moore wants people to see it by any means necessary.

Playing "Fahrenheit"? (July 1, 2004)

To Moorewatch.com, exhibit A is an exchange, said to be from a pre-Cannes, European press conference, in which Moore tells a reporter he doesn't "agree with the copyright laws." (A link to the clip is available on the site.)

"I don't have a problem with people downloading the movie and sharing it with people," Moore is heard saying. "As long as they're not doing it to make a profit off it, as long as they're not trying to make a profit off my labor."

He also stood by minors sneaking in. Quite often that requires paying for one movie and seeing another or even a second.
