Definitely a good Seth Rogen/James Franco film... A bunch of good points here as well about the hackers. I have a feeling that in the future it will get worse and worse with hackers and attacks... I just read about some Lizard group that hacked Microsoft?
You n00b.. Hackers are all we have against corporate greed.. they're the balancing force between our masters and slaves...
hint.. We're the slaves..
Government sponsored attacks suck. There is little to no moral ground to stand on there. It is just one monolithic group of *******s attacking another. As for the Lizard Squad hack, I get they were trying to make a point, but I think it is pretty crappy to mess with kids on Christmas day.
SMALLER government.. vs LARGER government..
You do realize that ALL of local tyranny is sponsored by LARGE governments.. without the big military industrial, how do you think anyone keeps anyone else in line..
David vs Goliath is ALways justified.
Not all government sponsored attacks are actually direct (or even semi-direct) govt. vs. govt - like this Sony hack regarding this movie for example. That isn't David vs Goliath. But, usually it is Government A attempting to get something from Company B so that they can then use that to attack Company C to ultimately reach Government B. It is lame, and real people get stuck in the middle.
That being said, companies that store, maintain, sell or produce information that would be valuable to these people need to know how to protect their stuff. Unfortunately life isn't always so easy. You go to work one day and realize that some foreign government has completely effed everything up for you, the dude in a cubicle. Sucks hardcore.
