How would Uncle Karl feel about paying to watch it?  The workers who made the documentary gain no proceeds now.  It was made nine years ago.  Only useless eaters now reap the fee.  Your thoughts?  How would Uncle Karl feel about me getting it for free on Pirate Bay?

Knowledge should be free, and I'll not watch it to be entertained.  I will watch it to learn.

UK would of course view it as EXPLOITATION, which is how he viewed the concept of all PROFIT.  He also would be aghast at the way the idea of INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY has evolved with the use of Patents & Copyrights to reduce knowledge to a commodity people have to pay for, with the Profit generated from the knowledge controlled by the "owner" of the property.

I'm sure he would be fine with you downloading a Pirate copy of the film and in fact encourage it.  I get HBO along with my Amazon Prime membership, which I bought for the Free Shipping, not for the Video.  In AK, the free shipping pays for the membership after about 5 items you buy in a year.  It is unfortunate that Bezos gets the Profit of course, but among the many ways my pocket gets picked by Capitalists, this one is fairly modest.
