I heard that Rev Al and Dennis Rodman shot a porno flick with Kim Jong Un and
then he got wet feet during post production and sent Dennis and Rev Al into
Sony HQ to delete the copy. While the worm was attempting to guess the Sony
root password (123456) they got drunk and ACCIDENTALLY shared some files with
the rest of the world. They are sorry and Kim Jong is not returning their
calls anymore. So it is a big mistake, nothing to see here. Please move
along.

The two big problems with the tinfoil theories like that and the ones I come up
with as well are the domestic terrorism issue, that wont go away, somebody will
end up dead. The other is Al Sharpton, nobody, for any reason under the sun
would open that can.

Ok, putting on my Conspiracy theory hat now that the FBI just announced that NK
is behind the attack, since there's been no collusion between the gov't and the
media industry before..... What if Sony is developing a new Distribution
system to bypass theaters with new releases. What better way to get it started
than to have to use it in a way that does not anger theater owners. 'Oh, we
have to distribute the movie this way, because someone threatened you if we
show it at your movie theater' And then, if it completely fails, they can
point their finger to North Korea who 'Forced them to have to do it this way'
They get to try something new without having ANYONE upset with them. Oh,
except maybe Seth Rogan.
Were there any recent Sony Internships that touted 'International travel' as
part of the perks?

True... it's not really surprising they pulled it, nobody is going to want to
take on that sort of liability.

If hackers are involved to the degree they claim, which I doubt, the mystery of
N Koreas involvment (they do have the money to pay for hired hackers) has
emboldened them to act like warriors.
Sony already has 2 lawsuits going, for not protecting employee data, imagine if
something did happen at a theater, even a random lunatic with a 9mm, thats alot
of liability.
A "leak" of the movie would be great, they can make their money on DMCA suits

It seems a little odd that a bunch of hackers would even threaten that... I
would think a more hacker-ish threat would be more credible.

How much of a physical violence threat are a bunch of hackers though? Not the
most threatening demographic from that standpoint...

I was thinking on same line but I am sure they must have got some credible

On a side note, I can't believe movie theaters as well as Sony capitulated to
these dumbasses in regards to "The Interview". Isn't that tantamount to
negotiating with a terrorist?

I've only been following loosely with what I hear on the radio, but it sound
like there was a lot of data stolen (multiple gig's from the sound of it). The
Last update I heard was that the hack originated from a hotel Wifi connection
in china somewhere. How were they able to transfer that much data in a short
enough time that it wasn't discovered and stopped? Did the hotel have a
blazing fast network? Something with getting that amount of data in such a
short time dosen't seem to add up.
