Also, if Sony really intended not to show the movie in theaters and was ready to sacrifice the money it can make from that but now is proud of itself for supporting freedom of speech it should be relatively easier for it to decide to do a better job for that by releasing the movie for free directly through sites like YouTube and spread the free speech world wide instead of making money on it in the theaters. But, of course, what is being started for the money would more probably be completed for the money.

Are you going to pay to watch Sony's movie? - 2
That dictatorship in North Korea seems so sever that people there may breath fresh air in countries like Russia or China. However, from the beginning the claim that it syber attacked Sony was far from sounding like a real thing.
Yesterday, someone on the CBS news stated that it appears that the attack was related to someone inside and the reference to North Korea was a "decoy". That could be better completed by the view I held from the beginning that it was something faked by Sony itself in participation with others. In addition, the "reversal" of its decision by Sony also fits that and gives it ,at least, an additional purpose.
Why did I think So? While it could suffice to say that the whole thing sounded like a childish game, based on the news, I still would point out these things .
First, the level of knowledge and advancement of North Korea in that field didn't fit. Second, the exaggerated attempt to make this sound like coming from foreign entity using broken English. Third, the desperate need to use any argument that may convince that the attack really happened. I even saw someone on TV saying that Sony was saving passwords in a file called password. Fifth, the exaggerated attempt to show the thing as real with filing suits against Sony this early. Sixth, the exaggerated action by Sony to show the thing as real by asking services like Twitter to suspend accounts of those who spread the hacked information. Seventh, The exaggerated reaction by fast preventing the movie in big theaters chain. Even without this fast reaction, the fear to closing theaters was in itself an exaggeration and/or did not make much sense for.It did not make much sense for movie theaters to be selectively chosen for issuing a threat or selectively chosen in protection from general threat. If the dictator wants to react that way to the movie then he may apply that reaction to anywhere and because of any medium showing the movie. Movie theaters can actually be better protected than many other more venerable areas against such attacks if feared. So, as you can see, there was not much sense to close the theaters to begin with except, of course, to benefit from the reaction when they opened back.
Finally, why would the dictator in North Korea react this way to a movie to begin with? How about the news? Are they saying good things about him? If it worry him, then saying things like: They speak about terrorism but look who encourage terrorism, would sound a more probable reaction.

Are you going to pay to watch Sony's movie?
Anyone thinking about paying to watch the Sony's movie should consider the possibility that this was all faked. Although I am not inclined to believe that this was done mainly to make more people pay to see the movie, it, nevertheless, sufficient to be the reason by itself.
To me that this is all fake and game played by ,among others, Sony itself is much more than just a possibility but I have been postponing talking about it until I have more time for it. I made an exception for this post to fight back against trying to make money using corruption and dirty games.
In addition, I think that I still have some time to add that the FBI being also corrupt here is also much more than just a possibility to me.
