Sony's North Korea "comedy assassination" film available online It has now been announced that Google Play/YouTube and other online venues (possibly to include Netflix at some point) are either now or soon will enable streaming of Sony's "comedy assassination" film (at least in some countries).
I note this specifically because I do not support censorship even of this trash, and I feel it is completely appropriate and admirable for the film to be made widely available in the interests of free speech. That said, this doesn't mean you're required to watch it. A film like this is unlikely in the extreme to bring about positive change in a horrible place like North Korea. If anything, it could drive their insane leadership to even further internal repression. So my *personal* recommendation remains to ignore this film entirely, and not reward Sony's series of unforced errors that enabled this entire mess. --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein ([email protected]): http://www.vortex.com/lauren Founder: - Network Neutrality Squad: http://www.nnsquad.org - PRIVACY Forum: http://www.vortex.com/privacy-info Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: http://www.pfir.org/pfir-info Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy I am a consultant to Google -- I speak only for myself, not for them.
