An insider would make some sense, discounting the fact that again the hackers had access to untold millions of dollars and didn't take any of it. But "most security experts" definitely have not said that.

The theaters don't care about the actual risk of an attack. They have insurance for shit like that. Like I said before, the theaters are concerned with their customers not showing up because their customers don't want to take the risk.

I just assume that the Team America part of it is entirely wrapped up in contract and IP deals.
Like if these theaters showed team america again then someone would be legally obligated to pay someone else monies, and fuck that noise. Go buy the dvd, bitches!
Not that I know any of that to be true, but I assume that's exactly what it is instead of any kind of ideological statement.

Why would you assume this? Old movies like Team America get shown at theaters all the time. Hell, the theaters that wanted to show this wouldn't have said they were going to show it unless they already had the rights.

Well, yeah, that is what risk is. Risk doesn't just refer to violence.They made a judgement that the financial risks of showing the movie outweigh the cons of not showing it. Whether they think people won't want to see the movie because of threats of violence or because the movie isn't good or whatever idk, but someone somewhere clearly has some research showing that playing the movie is not in the best interest of the theaters. Or maybe not, maybe they're just winging it. But I doubt it.

Team America isn't so old. Ten years ago the internet existed and streaming was starting.
It's easier to believe the there is some sort of copyright or royalty issue than to believe a bunch of small theaters are all terrified of NK or something.
They said they were but then didn't. Thinking they had the rights isn't the same as having them. And if they just got strongarmed, that's basically semantics when it comes to media production. IP being what it is.
But I unno. Coulda been something else entirely.

An Analysis of the "Destructive" Malware Behind FBI Warnings
article with shots of code and executables used in the attack. They had basically the entire host names structure of target servers with an encrypted file of users names and password from inside the network before the attack was even launched. straight up social engineer to deliver this payload.

Acts of war and terrorism are almost always excluded under most insurance policies. Endorsements for terrorism coverage exist under TRIA (insurers don't have the capital to offer the coverage privately.) Then there are specific triggers that must be met, along with significant deductibles and co-pay percentages. An attack would be an enormous loss for the theater.
Utterly contemptible that the Black Prince would criticize a private actor for wilting under the threat of violence from another government. The US should be out there giving them the dick for threatening our citizens, not boarding Air Force One and jetting off to Hawaii for a secluded vacation.

You don't think people would swarm to this movie with all the press it's gotten? Any smalltime theatre that runs this will make a killing. Ball's in faggot Sony's court.
