Redistributing Hollywierd ~ DU remains silent

[zeitgeist]

With all the brew ha ha about redistribution and sticking it to the one percent I am somewhat surprised the Big Guy's post got so little (as in no) attention.  It is sitting there as lonely as the Maytag Repairman:

FBI looking into hack of Sony Pictures' computers

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The FBI has confirmed it is investigating a recent hacking attack at Sony Pictures Entertainment, which caused major internal computer problems at the film studio last week.

Sony's corporate email and other internal systems were knocked offline, according to reports by Variety and other trade publications. Sony workers reportedly saw a message appear on their computer screens that said "Hacked by #GOP," which may be the initials of a group calling itself Guardians of Peace. Copies of some unreleased Sony films such as "Still Alice," "Annie," "Mr. Turner," and "To Write Love on Her Arms" are now being distributed on unauthorized file-sharing websites, as well as the still-in-theaters "Fury," although a direct connection to the hacking hasn't been confirmed.

Culver City, California-based Sony Pictures said in a statement Monday that it is continuing "to work through issues related to what was clearly a cyber attack last week. The company has restored a number of important services to ensure ongoing business continuity and is working closely with law enforcement officials to investigate the matter."

Along with the FBI, Sony has brought in forensic experts from the Mandiant division of FireEye, a Silicon Valley cybersecurity company, according to a source familiar with the case who did not want to be named because the companies have not yet announced the arrangement. Mandiant helps companies determine the extent of breaches and repair damages. The firm has worked on other high-profile computer breaches, including the one at Target last year.

Must be the #GOP hack group is out of favor with the DUmp.     "Cause who doesn't like sticking it to the man.  Free movies?  Overpaid stars.  This is win-win baby, win-win.  Were are the DUmmes.  Oh yeah, they can't down load because Pirate Bay got raided right after this happened.

Maybe he thinks the #GOP are being funded by the Koch brothers and have an elephant for a mascot.

Sony email hack shows Scott Rudin, Amy Pascal making racist jokes about Obama; producer apologizes

"What should I ask the president at this stupid Jeffrey breakfast?" Pascal wrote, according to the site.

Rudin replied, "Would he like to finance some movies."

"I doubt it. Should I ask him if he liked DJANGO?" Pascal replied, in reference to Quentin Tarantino's bloody slave revenge flick "Django Unchained."

Rudin shot back, "12 YEARS" — meaning "12 Years a Slave," the slave memoir that nabbed Best Picture at the Oscars last year.
The two then continued the ugly riff, trading titles of popular movies starring black actors.

"Or the butler. Or think like a man?" Pascal said.

"Ride-along," Rudin quipped, referring to the Ice Cube-Kevin Hart buddy cop flick. "I bet he likes Kevin Hart."

I guess the Hollyweird elite can be racists.

They're probably silent because they honestly don't know what to do with this information.  On one hand they have their boy king wonder god Obama. On the other hand they have Hollywood,  which is a huge bastion for the left in terms of propoganda and cash raising.  I really think they're stumped for the moment on how to go about handling this. Of course I think they'll default to Obama in the end and go after Sony in their posts.
