I'm just wondering what Bob thought they were supposed to do ?

Run it in spite of the threats and if a theatre got blown up say Oops.

I'm wondering, when did conservatives become such lily livered pussies, eh Zero? Do you really want to allow Lil' Kim and the Hermit Kingdom run a cyber attack on a US/Japanese corporation and threaten Americans in movie theaters?

I would really rather that one of the leading electronics companies historically could figure out how to keep their system safe.

But, shutting down a movie that nobody was going to watch anyway might just be prudent over some chest pounding. Particularly when they will make more money on it now after the publicity than they ever would have.

If it had been a block buster neither the theatres or Sony would have shut it down.

You ever stop and think first? How do you know that "nobody was going to watch"? In which case why is Lil Kim running a blackmail on Sony?

He's simply deflecting. When someone is all about unfettered capitalism, their over-riding concern is the bottom line. A short sighted belief system at best.

Duh. That's easy, adequate layers of encryption cost money that Sony didn't want to spend. An obviously bad business decision, no?
The rest of your post is contradictory nonsense, try again.

So it's OK if people get blown up if it's profitable?

Kind of funny how the First Amendment to the US Constitution loses it's importance when it's liberal Hollywood being threatened and blackmailed over some low browed humor.

The Sony incident has nothing to do with the First Amendment.

Yeh, it's more like blackmail.
