    I'm sure lots of people will complain about him making money off those auctions.

    (And I'm sure he splits the money with Mike Matei )

    I'm sure the money he makes for being one of the most popular people on the internet isn't enough. He works hard on his videos. I have no problem with him selling props and games.

    well, since they both sign the items i would assume so. also, it seems like the biggest money makers are the title screen drawings (the metal gear one sold for $510). you'd think whoever actually drew it would get the majority of the profit for those.

    Most of the games and systems he gets are given to him for free. He uses them on his reviews, sells them off with an autograph on them for a pretty insane amount considering the original game would probably be $1 shipped(or for a system a bit more.) He's making out.

    He doesn't deserve every penny. His reviews have become very shitty as of late. His most recent review was decent, but alot of his prior most recent reviews just suck. The "James and Keannu" comparison I made awhile back is pretty much true.

    C'mon, he gets a crapload of free games. He doesn't need to be making tons of money just for his signature.

    As long as he is selling the games form the ACTUAL videos they were used in I have no problem with this, however if next week he has like a dozen copies of Bugs Bunny's Crazy Castle for sale also autographed then I do and really I don't think he would be that stupid.

    He is selling merchandise used by him as props in a feature, I see no problem with that, tons of celebrities do it.

    You're in luck, Michael Moore's "Capitalism - A Love Story" is opening this weekend nationwide. You'll find lots of similar sentiment at those screenings! Let's hope we can finally find the right person or people that will decide for us who needs to make money and how much, instead of leaving it to the stupid paying customers to decide!

    Let's be fair.
    A person can point out areas where capitalism seems to need better regulation (e.g. The pharmaceutical industry, weapons manufacturers, and in Moore's case, a corrupted banking industry) without approving full-blown socialism.
    Sometimes we criticize things because we want to improve them. Not because we want to totally replace them.

    Yes, but Moore does want to totally replace capitalism. In his own words Capitalism is evil and has never done anything for him. Yes, ... he said that.

    If he said that, then he's a moron. I'm surprised he's still taken seriously after that.

    He did say it during one of his many recent media appearances, while promoting his movie to the buying public. Just like a good capitalist does!

    Does Micheal Moore really want to completely replace capitalism?

    "I think at one point... capitalism when it was the old way, y'know wasn't a bad idea because a lot of people invested in things they wanted to support, and y'know you could open a business and provide services and goods for people. But we're way beyond this now [...] and we suffer as a society because of that."
    -Moore

    It sounds pretty clear to me, that Moore approves of certain forms of capitalism.

    I find arguments more effective when backed up by evidence.
