Mr Bloke Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Perhaps they have no reason to. Moreover, one suspects the penalties for getting caught would be very different. Hmmm... ... I wonder if they'd be interested in hacking a YouTube video? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny5 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Sony got cold feet due to the potential of horrendously bad publicity should the worst happen. Word is that it will eventually come out Feb/March time when the hoo-ha has died down. Incidentally Sony was almost certainly hacked by NK working out of China. The US understandably is going to be keen to bury this, they don't want to ruffle China. I do wonder what the Chinese are thinking sometime with regards their love-in with NK.

Harleyman Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Have you seen it? it was scheduled to be released on Christmas day so no, haven't seen it ---------- Post added 19-12-2014 at 17:10 ---------- Sony got cold feet due to the potential of horrendously bad publicity should the worst happen.

China's worst nightmare is the collapse of the North Korean regime and millions of refugees flooding across the border. It's in China's interest to make sure the regime stays in power, the longer the better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While you were posting that Obama and the FBI were pointing the finger at North Korea and China. North Korea is a nice buffer state for China who would rather NK be a client state for themselves rather than a client state for the USA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they aren't invading Tibet, they are causing the extinction of elephants, rhinos, pangolin and sharks, skinning dogs, torturing tigers and bears, oppressing their populace and generally being the scum of the earth....but eh, western powers like to suck up to them because of money. Personally I wish bird flu would have been a whole lot more effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonBladesman Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I can't really believe that the USA have made a film about an assassination of a leader of a very hostile country. Absolutely stupid and I have to say a very naive move. John McCain says it's remarkable that North Korea have the capability to disrupt their national defence security. Talk about fuelling the fire. Totally naive and arrogant. And I love the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithy266 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 We all know what Kim il Jong is but the film was in bad taste anyway even if it was meant to be funny. No sympathy for Sony I quite agree. One thing plotting to bump off a ficticious character, but a real, living one... Its beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solomon1 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Sony have cancelled the release of the film The Interview about the fictional plot to kill North Korea's leader. Sony did this after major cinema chains refused to show it. Way to cave in to hackers. Agreed! ---------- Post added 19-12-2014 at 22:59 ---------- Or way to make a movie an instant cult-classic - I would never have considered watching it, but I am pretty keen on it now! Haha! Agreed also! ---------- Post added 19-12-2014 at 23:03 ---------- I quite agree. One thing plotting to bump off a ficticious character, but a real, living one... Its beyond me.
