[governance] Fw: [IP] DL- One Man's Freedom is Another Man's Imperialism (via Evgeny Morosov)

[Barry Shein]

Something which strikes me in that article is that it makes the point
that the link between the Sony breaches and N Korea hasn't been
established but asserts that the US govt took down N Korea's internet
connection as if it were established fact.

Barring supporting evidence or admission what's more likely is they
were taken down by pranksters/miscreants who tend to attack anything
which is in the news.

I tend to doubt that's how the US govt is likely to deal with a
foreign power, it would be silly, except perhaps as a preventative
measure (to block some attack in progress.)

And I also doubt it would have much affect on N Korea.

So, no evidence, and it doesn't even make sense.


P.S. Did N Korea threaten harm to theater-goers if the film opened or
not? There's some suspicion the threat was a hoax tho they seemed to
retract the threat later.

This is all like tap-dancing on quicksand.
