Nation have to say, audiences have to say lets hear controversial issues. we can handle it. >> my sense of sonys position right now is they wont even give us a dvd that we could show at the writers guild theatre in l.a. just us, they wont even give us that, because the attackers would blame them for giving us that dvd. >> well, they magt. -- might. >> for a private showing. >> im interested in seeing how far we can stand up. im not interested in risking our lives or members lives about. but some...

Amazon will never touch this. they wont sell a dvd or put it online ever. they expect to get the same kind of attack that sony got. so it is likely that we will never, ever see this movie. >> i hope that youre mistaken on that. but you might be exactly right. the threats are apparently credible. theyre certainly -- >> as long as this north korean regime in s in place. so the next, whatever that is, 20 years, whatever that is. >> well, you never know. people make threats and dont necessarily have...

Get hacked and more attacks for that. netflix will never run this thing because then the people who went after sony will go after netflix. amazon will never touch this. they wont sell a dvd or put it online ever. they expect to get the same kind of attack that sony got. so it is likely that we will never, ever see this movie. >> i hope that youre mistaken on that. but you might be exactly right. the threats are apparently credible. theyre certainly -- >> as long as this north korean regime in s ...

Cockpit doors already secured and stronger and heavier and all of these airlines, and it took that first time event, unexpected event that made everyone, including all the companies saying oh, yeah, weve got to do it. im sure cory bennett, every company of any size in america today is having emergency i.t. meetings of how do we defend ourselves against this. >> whats interesting is that the attack we saw on sony was the first large-scale successful destructive attack. it wasnt just that hackers ...

About whats happened. weve had a cyber security breach. this is an area where the commerce department has been involved historically by helping to develop the cyber security framework. lets remember whats happened here. someone has broken the law and stolen property from sony. what i think the government has been doing is working with sony to insure peoples safety and make sure there isnt some sort of threat to individuals. on the flip side, where the government has been active is to engage with...

Lisa monaco and george bushs adviser in the same capacity. we discussed this. and sony does lie outside of where you thought the attack would come. to some degree, sony is complicit in this because they themselves didnt institute and put in place the kind of firewalls and protections that were sophisticated to anticipate, not necessarily north korea, but were entering an age where this kind of mischief, this kind of penetration for any variety of purposes is becoming something that were seeing a...

To make people laugh, i guess to try to engage in some issues and now its gong to be in a closet some place. its bad for creators, its bad for the public. people need to hear this stuff. >> yeah, but what is there to do about this. thisst a very serious threat to moviegoers. i can tell you, im not brave about this. as i was listening to that threat yesterday, my plan was to buy ten tickets to the movie online on opening day and not go to the theatre. because i took the threat seriously, but i wa...

And were hearing from experts it was very interesting to see who allude to something of 1,000 president obama and the cuban leader, raul castro now to 1800 secret agents around the world, that it may be a much delivering their contemporaneous speeches almost about this more organized attempt by north coordinated effort. and it reminds us of what korea to try to move into this happened with their handshake at parallel war of cyberwar. nelson mandalas funeral. >> thats chilling. everybody said the...

Kind of lightly the idea that they might blow up movie thea e theatres -- one thing worth noting is, every single threat that has been issued against sony has been carried out specifically as threatened since this started. >> thats very true, lawrence. and i think its also worth noting that the technology that sony used -- excuse me, that north korea used in this attack is by no means the most advanced technology that they have. it is not the most advanced of their cyber capabilities. maybe a ye...
