Fighting back against North Korea’s cyber-terror strike against Sony Pictures (Updated)

A Hollywood film studio has produced a movie which angers North Korea’s dictator. His cyber-terrorists threatened terror acts if it’s released, so major theatre chains canceled.

If a third-world nation like North Korea can be allowed to cyber-terrorize America with impunity, imagine what major nations like Russia and China will do in the future.

American ingenuity can – and should – fight back strongly against such acts.

BlueCollar suggests we should fight fire with fire…

We already have a fire-walled intelligence infrastructure in place, that deals with cyber-attacks daily. Have that agency set up a gov’t version of Netflix, and distribute the viewing of such cyber-attacked movies to every home in the world…On Demand.

Set-up would be nominal; pay-per-view structures are already established.

The revenues received can be used to offset costs of setting up the operation, and the motion picture studio can be reimbursed up to a declared percentage over costs.

American households should be charged the going theatre rate for their pay-per-view. (Update: For that matter, with little overhead, the standard On-Demand rate applies.)

Nations bordering North Korea can be offered a free per-household viewing rate.

Hey Sony; it’s not ‘Lead, Follow, or Cower‘…It’s ‘Lead, Follow, or Get Out of the Way’.

Surely one of your Hollywood execs have a direct line with Obama? Pick up the phone.

And let the games begin.
