Sony Hack

[Kim Welch]

I think this is a first in history. A movie is not being released in American because of threats from terrorists supporting North Korea. Officials are now saying the hackers are in North Korea. Pretty crazy. I hope they don't hack our site because I posted this!! Is there really Freedom of expression?

Devils Advocate position here. Lets say someone wanted to make a movie about a disgruntled middle aged something who joins a group intent on offing the U.S. President. As the movie description appeared in Film publications, would not the Secret Service and Homeland security place the maker of that film as a possible terrorist threat? So why is it ok to make a film offing the president of another country when we could probably not do that in our country about our own president?

First he is not a President elected by the people.He is a dictator. And, yes you can make a movie offing our president, invading our country, bombing it, taking it over and the list goes on and on... It has been done before and I am sure it will be done again. The problem is by the time you get it done we will probably have a new president. And secret service and CIA and FBI can't and won't stop you from making it or distributing it or hack the company making it and threaten them with terrorist attacks.
