MediaBuyerPlanner: Advertising Age reports that Sicko, a Michael Moore documentary scheduled to hit theatres on June 29, has been pirated and leaked onto the Internet via filesharing sites like www.thepiratebay.org.
Last week Moore announced he’d hidden a copy of Sicko in Canada, just in case the Federal government used his recent visit to Cuba to prevent the documentary’s release. Ad Age reports that the video is now available “with ease.”
Michael Moore and distributor The Weinstein Group had no comment regarding the leak.
