Michael Moore's new film available free after midnight tonight

Michael Moore's new feature-length film "Slacker Uprising" will be available to download for free after midnight tonight -- no strings attached. It's Moore's contribution to help get out the vote for this year's elections.

Here is how Moore describes the movie:
"Slacker Uprising" chronicles the 62-city tour I did leading up to the 2004 election. It is electrifying to see the tens of thousands of young people who were ready then for the uprising -- and who, this year, are actually making it happen. This is my concert film tribute to the young voters who are going to save this country from four more years of Republican rule.
I saw the trailer some time ago, and it does seem to be an inspirational film.

You have until October 13th to take advantage of this free download. Here are the download details, as outlined in an email announcement that Moore distributed this morning:
1) Blip.tv will provide standard resolution streaming, free of commercials and advertising.

2) Amazon Video on Demand will provide a high quality version of the above stream.

3) 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.

4) Hypernia is providing bandwidth, servers and management to host "Slacker Uprising" online, so you can download the film and view it at any time or burn it onto a DVD.
And for anyone who doesn't (or cannot) download the movie, you can order a DVD for only $9.95.
