Comment Torturing is OK. But don't touch Hollywood ! (Score 3, Interesting) 176
This story has so many crazy angles, it will make a nice movie of itself in a couple of years! One of the things is the extremist protection of 'intellectual (*cough*) property'.
It's OK that the Norks have a Hitler-like regime, that they put little children in concentration camps and have slave camps. The hunger & starvation is no problem. It's also OK that they abduct civilians of South Korea and Japan, sink enemy ships, make nuclear weapons or trade rockets & launchers with Iran.
No, the real problem starts when they (alledgedly) hack a media company. Course, you know, the worst of the worst people are *pirates* and *hackers*. That's how powerful the intellectual property complex has gotten.
