I would really rather that one of the leading electronics companies historically could figure out how to keep their system safe.

But, shutting down a movie that nobody was going to watch anyway might just be prudent over some chest pounding. Particularly when they will make more money on it now after the publicity than they ever would have.

If it had been a block buster neither the theatres or Sony would have shut it down.

Run it in spite of the threats and if a theatre got blown up say Oops.

You may want to read up on Israel's policy regarding terrorist threats. You give in once and the threats never stop.

You ever stop and think first? How do you know that "nobody was going to watch"? In which case why is Lil Kim running a blackmail on Sony?

Is it worth one moron killing one movie goer.

Idiot.

Zero, I'm confused. You are really worried about a single moviegoer, but losing Brown doesn't bother you at all. Why is that?

They're real shape shifters on policy depending on whose in the White House.

He's simply deflecting. When someone is all about unfettered capitalism, their over-riding concern is the bottom line. A short sighted belief system at best.

They're betting that they'll get lucky and the NKs will kill someone. Then they can blame Obama.

Duh. That's easy, adequate layers of encryption cost money that Sony didn't want to spend. An obviously bad business decision, no?
The rest of your post is contradictory nonsense, try again.

It sure appears that way.

edit - Funny how the Bushites told everybody to "Go shopping" after 9/11 but here we have connies and Sony wetting their Depends over an empty threat from Lil' Kim.

If Lil' Kim's 'Defenders of Peace' hurt one American over this movie? I suspect Bejing will have his sorry ass fed to the pigs, at our behest.
