I'm not really outraged at cancelling the movie, it looked like a lame attempt at satire that probably shouldn't have been made in the first place. Sony is a Japanese corporation, so nope, not really upset about them getting hacked.
Basically, My Give-a-damn rating is flatlined on this one.
Another perspective...What IF any country (Russia,India,N.K.any M.E. country) produced a film for
distribution world wide...ONLY it depicted the assassination (in parody)of OUR President. What would
OUR reaction be? Pissed,probably.

I don't think you give Americans enough credit. Some people may be pissed, but we live in a country that allows free speech and we've been desensitized by much worse (the Westboro morons for one)... and there is no way we would condone our government threatening cyber attacks or attacks on theaters.
The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.

We've got some pretty good hackers here too.

No, we just condone the "sanitized" DRONE ATTACKS,BOTH are keys pressed,collateral damage
part of the day's work. AGAIN, guess you have NOT read "Confessions of an Economic Hitman".

As our friend ZHawke would say, "apples and oranges". The making of a film that mocks a president and fictionalizes his assassination is hardly the same as terrorists actively killing and trying to kill our citizens... one scenario requires much greater measures. I don't need to read a book to understand that difference.

For Rick...."Confessions of an Economic Hitman"...."economic hitmen are highly paid professionals who CHEAT countries around the globe out of trillions of dollars". "rigged elections,payoffs,EXTORTION,sex, murder."The American government then requests access to natural resources,military cooperation,and political support."....and WE,as citizens,have allowed these practices to flourish...WE did NOT question
WE did not educate yourselves and WE have remained mute. No, I do NOT give the american public credit,for they do NOT think for themselves.

Yes, I remember that movie and that conservative commentators were outraged about it (the link shows Hillary Clinton was outraged too). But I don't recall any calls for attacking the movie studio or producers of the film. I think it was more like how dare the liberals do such a thing.
Back to North Korea, I wonder how could they get the expertise to do such sophisticated hacking. I'd think only the most privileged would own a computer and I assume they severely limit internet access. Without a large base of computer users to draw from, where do they find these expert hackers?
It seems they have trouble getting talented doctors because every time a leader gets sick they have to bring in a doctor from outside the country. I wonder if they are hiring foreign hackers?
