Both are mainstream artists who have chosen to release their latest works online. Moore's new movie, "Slacker Uprising" will be available for download on September 23.
It sounds more like a home movie/travelogue than one of his more full-formed commercial works but this is still pretty innovative and may lead others to follow suit as was the case with Radiohead's release of "In Rainbows".
"The movie is basically a document of Moore’s tour through 62 US cities in swing states during the 2004 U.S. presidential election; obviously, it didn’t work out as well as Moore intended it, so now he’s hoping he can recycle it for another go."
