Le sigh.... They only have as much power as you let them... And Sony giving into their threats makes me sad....
Looks like Sony is pushing SOPA, I was reading that they are actually fighting back, by DDOSing torrent sites. I'll find the article.
My quick thoughts.
While threatening 9/11-
Uh... He's referring to the cyber-terrorists themselves referencing 9/11 in their threat to Sony.I stopped reading here. Please do not compare 9/11 to anything shy of events like 9/11. It devalues the meaning of the date. Just like CNN using it to compare to the school shooting recently in Pakistan. It's stupid. A closer comparison would be the Boston Bombing. You don't need to make 9/11 a household word to use with everything "bad", it's disrespectful and inaccurate.
/rant over.

"Soon all the world will see what an awful movie Sony Pictures Entertainment has made. The world will be full of fear. Remember the 11th of September 2001. We recommend you keep yourself distant from the places at the time."
If you want to blame anyone for evoking 9/11, it should be them.
As a country and a people we refuse to get pushed around by bullies making idle threats.
Agreed, and this really gets my goat.--and of course North Korea is the biggest threat to our freedom of speech and not some other stuff that's lately been on the news, amirite?

I mean, come on guys. Don't you know that we can only discuss and be indignant about one topic per year? You have all these people whining about things like... police brutality, the economy, our shitty foreign policy, women and brown peoples' rights, almost as if any of these are as much of a threat to our security as not some of the other stuff that's lately been on the news, like climate change.
I vote that, as long as climate change is the #1 threat to mankind, no lesser threats should be discussed or emotionally invested in. Stay focused ya'll.
However, that can't overlook the free speech issues, as dumb as the speech in question may be.
