I must say I'm a bit underwhelmed by the ethics displayed by at least one Moore hater on this thread.

You want to see the movie, but you don't want to give Moore your money, so your solutions is:

1. Watch a pirated version!

That's theft, pure and simple.

I don't see any good in breaking the law over your distaste for Moore. He created the film; if you want to see it, pay the man. Or do what some of the others are doing:

2. Wait for someone to give you a copy (assuming it's a legal copy)
3. Wait for it to come on to cable.

You also could do #4: Pay a few bucks and rent it when it comes out on video. Moore will get some of your money, but not nearly as much.

As far as permissions: Generally, if you're in a public place, or are easily visible from a public place, you have no expectation of privacy and your image can be used with or without your permission. A graveyard is a public place, like it or not. So is your front yard, if I'm taking a picture of you from the street.

Most publications and media outlets are overfastidious about getting permissions simply to avoid ANY legal hassles of any sort. But the paparazzi, for example, thrive along the margins of the "no expectation of privacy" line.
