When the danish cartoon fiasco occurred a few years ago, some people suggested every newspaper in the world should have publish those Mohammad cartoons on their front page.

I happen to agree with the point of view. I also think it's pathetic for Sony to cave in the way they did.

Every university, who always claim free-speech is of paramount importance, should have a midnight showing of Team America.

Drop millions of DVDs of the offending movie on North Korea. Of course I don't know how many average North Koreans have DVD players, or even electricity, for that matter.

I hope so. I don't care all that much for Hollywood, or Sony pictures for that matter, but I am a big fan of Capitalism. I think it would be really ironic if Kim- Un- Puttyface's shenanigans turned a crappy comedy into one of the biggest money making movie blockbusters of all time.

I don't know.
I'm not necessarily for capitalism but I'm very "Don't you tell me what to do!"
But where do you draw the line with offensive material?
I'm also very "Free Speech" so I let a lot go.

Like when the Jackass movie was released. Critics gave it zero stars. I enjoyed it, for what it was. It wasn't redeeming social commentary, it was dumb slapstick fun.
Well, maybe that movie wasn't for that critic that reviewed it and it was undeserving of a zero star rating.

I think it should've been released.

I don't know enough about cyber security to really have an opinion one way or another, but I found this interesting:

Reading through the comments at the end of the article, it appears that the FBI's credibility with a lot of people isn't much better than North Korea's Undecided
