The US government should use a US Navy ship to broadcast that movie off the North Korean coast. Blast it out over the air waves so every Korean can watch it, north or south. Run that movie 24/7, make sure that is all they watch in North Korea for the next year. Also we should launch a strike against the infrastructure in North Korea from which this attack came from. As far as I am concerned its an act of war, they used a cyber attack to cripple a company then threatened violence on American people visiting the theater to see the movie. I say make em pay for this. They cannot beat us, they cannot do anything, Kim un sung is a total joke as is North Korea. Lets remind this clown of these facts.

If SONY had a "turn a dime mentality" they could make this flick available to entire U.S. population ASAP, and it would now be gobbled up even by people who would otherwise never have bothered with it. They would make a fortune....and in the process be going straight into the jugular vein of those who engineered this caper.

The whining about "losing" in some of the posts is pathetic.

I just read an article and there are some serious doubt about the implication of north korea. They think, it can be a former salary of sony who have sent the attack due to the fact that the hackers have an intern knowledge of sony security.
The revendication of the attack don't match with the North Korean procedure.

There is a thriving black market in N.Korea of western movies. I'll bet should this one get released or a bootleg version gets out, it will be smuggled in in mass. Maybe because the smuggling in of movies and TV is one of the few notable ways of defying the government, attacking a movie studio and a movie was chosen as a major focus. Or they really want this movie NOT to get released.

I can't stand this kind of movie but I was determined to go see it for the principle of it all.

What do you suggest we do? Hack nkorea in return? They don't have internet, they probably hired hackers from around the world.

Bomb the crap out of them and invade? Half their adult males are soldiers and they have a hilly terrain with forests. An invasion would take way more time and money than Iraq did, more lives lost, and we would need to raise your taxes a LOT. More govt in the form of military. I thought you guys wanted LESS govt and FEWER taxes?

Too bad Sony America has no courage. The proper response to bullies like NK is complete and total defiance.

Darn right, and I'm glad someone had the hormones to post it under Current Events, too, because this isn't just about movies.

What's next? The media nixing news that might offend North Korea?

Yes, we're turning into a nation of pansies.

i think you overreact. We might learn in the next day that nkorea is for nothing in that attack.
