Sounds Like a Plan
Sony should release "the Interview" online for free so North Koreans can't censor American creativity–should have Korean language version

That would require Sony to actually have balls
But Sony wanted to tweak North Korea AND make money …
Sony should get out of the movie business and stick to half-assed appliances.
This country’s becoming a shell of its former self from top to bottom. If there’s civil war I hope I don’t live to see it.
So who’s going to pay the movie maker then?
I wonder if there is a “won’t distribute because of terrorists” clause in their contract.
I hope Sony gets sued and loses a lot of money.
Can’t put all of this on Sony, though. Major theater chains dropped it. The media sensationalized the terrorism factor so much that the few people who might have wanted to see it as the comedy might have stayed away due to the threats or the extra security and some others who probably didn’t care about it might have gone to it out of defiance. I think Sony made the smart move by putting it on the shelf for now until the uproar dies down or the hactivists are discovered.
Should do exactly what Gingrich proposed – stick it for free on YouTube or some of the streaming sites. The ones who are defiant would download it, the ones who are scared wouldn’t have to go to a theater and would probably watch. Stick ads on it and they’d make back at least a FEW dollars.
