Carte Blanche for Terrorists and Hackers
Sony's cancellation of The Interview is understandable from an economic and liability point of view but sets a terrible precedent . What happens when a group decides to hack and threaten a documentary intended to bring our attention to a serious threat to the planet or democracy or even just to individual people? From everything I have heard the movie is terrible and deserved to die a quiet death as soon as the public began to talk about it. Then the furor over the hacking seemed to make the movie destined to be a "must see movie" between those who would go to strike a blow for intellectual freedom and those who just wanted to see what everyone was talking about. Now it will not be seen at all and the terrorists and hackers have won. There may have been a middle ground here but no one was seeking it out and we will come to regret this as we have given carte blanche to future attacks.
