1. WE should either entice all IT people in NK to leave there and come here and live rich lives

or tell them they are not safe if they EVER do this again.

I am a pacifist, usually, but the damage these little cocksuckers could do is not acceptable.

but be clever about it.

How about setting up broadcast stations all around NK and broadcasting The Interview for a week.

11. But think about the harm they could do to our power infrastructure

They could wipe out our electrical grid, air traffic, etc.

This is an act of war if it goes one step further.

8. Whether it's bad or good is besides the point.

I really don't understand why people keep bringing that up. I think that the sappy Disney princess movies are bad. Plus we have the added "delight" of being stuck with it being on Broadway, on ice and endless toys are always involved. And having those howling songs played over and over....
NOT THE POINT.

9. My personal opinion

is that Sony's decision had nothing to do with threats of violence and everything to do with the top people not wanting their insulting and/or racist e-mails revealed. There are a LOT of people who were embarassed (and worse) over what has been revealed so far, and you can bet there is much, much more that hasn't been revealed--yet. Cancelling the movie was an attempt to pre-empt any further revelations.

13. I was thinking maybe Sony can sell the film to a company that is willing

to distribute or air it--a small company that can't be meaningfully hacked.
