I see no reason not to watch his movies. But I won't pay to watch his movies. Not watching his movies gains you nothing and deprives him of nothing. But watching, without paying, ... that's a different story for him.
So don't buy that DVD, borrow it from the library instead. Or search out an MP4 copy of it online for free. While I used to be strongly against viewing pirated copies of movies, these days, with the likes of Jackson and De Niro, I am willing to turn a blind eye to piracy of their works. Doesn't mean that I condone it, just that I would not go out of my way to preach against it or try to stop it. It's their problem, not mine.
Several years ago, I used to take it on as my problem as well, and speak out against those who made pirated copies available. But those days are now gone, as these actors spout off nastily against me and my beliefs. If someone wanted to see a Michael Moore movie (why?) and I knew the URL to a pirated copy, I would not hesitate one microsecond to give that URL to someone I knew. I wouldn't post up the pirated copy myself, or give the URL to a ton of unknown people. But as far as I'm concerned these days, you can deal with your own problems now, loser actors and directors!
