- carpespasm, on 10/10/2007, -0/+113this isn't about copyright infringement, this is about NK not wanting their people to be exposed to any non-sactioned media. these are political executions.
- chubbybubba, on 10/10/2007, -4/+96While I definitely think the RIAA is evil, they are in no way anywhere near the evil of North Korea. the RIAA act for monetary reasons. North Korea acts to further subjugate & dehumanize its citizens. They execute their citizens on a regular basis. Actually, citizens may be the wrong word. They're more like cattle.
- drmsucks, on 10/10/2007, -5/+68“There have been two or three reports of public executions of North Korean young people in major cities including Chungjin, as punishment for having illegally copied and distributed South Korean visual material.”
There ya go, RIAA! - diggstown, on 10/10/2007, -0/+57OK, OK... I'll pay the $750/song!
- j1337, on 10/10/2007, -1/+49"There ya go, RIAA!"
They can only dream... - evi1, on 10/10/2007, -0/+41North Korea scares me.
- giveer, on 10/10/2007, -0/+29I think most diggers in here are creating a parallel to illegal downloading. That's not it at ALL. North Korea is executing people that are making contact with the "outside" world. Citizens aren't allowed "Internet", They smuggled copied video tapes of South Korean shows (commonly soap operas) across the border,,
I can understand why the RIAA parallel is there, but the post's title hints at copying through P2P, and that is clearly not the case, this is a totally different political fiasco. - ZenPirate, on 10/10/2007, -1/+30I wonder if Kim Jong's fabled pr0n collection is all legal..
- trghpy, on 10/10/2007, -4/+32What good does death do for RIAA? If you're dead your wages can't be garnished.
RTFA... Its more about prohibiting free thought than it is about illegal copies. - BristolMyLove, on 12/21/2008, -3/+27Please, don't give our government any ideas...
- jdh24, on 10/10/2007, -5/+28The MPAA must have bought off Kim Jong Il.
- Bleeblaow, on 10/10/2007, -4/+25What the *****? I can't believe NBC is doing this.
- asteron, on 10/10/2007, -0/+19This headline is awfully misleading. The PRK is not trying to protect the copyrights of publishers; they are trying to isolate their citizens from the outside world so as to further subjugate them. Implying a parallel to the RIAA is both absurd and offensive.
I think I am burying this for being INACCURATE. - rebrad, on 10/10/2007, -1/+19The RIAA and MPAA are drooling with so much envy that they have contacted their people in Congress for immediate corrective action.
- salinemist, on 10/10/2007, -0/+17I'm just waiting for the first liberal digger to compare Kim to Bush and tell us the US is also a police state......
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -3/+20an RIAA wet dream
- fuzzmeister, on 10/10/2007, -0/+16Kindly go ***** yourself. I would really not rather take the effort to bury your copy-and-paste truther crap on every single thread. People like you are making every other person who opposes Bush look like lunatics too, and I do not appreciate that.
- kedohmen, on 10/10/2007, -1/+17The RIAA/MPAA are masturbating over this story.
- saintdesy, on 10/10/2007, -1/+15Are you kidding me? The **AAs would LOVE if they could get people publicly executed here.
- iFungus, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14Sometimes sarcasm goes to far.
- directedition, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14North Korea scares everyone. Pre-coalition Afghanistan was more free.
- iticu, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13Captain Obvious strikes again.
- theshizzler, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11When you see Arec Barrwin, you see the true ugriness of human nature.
- Noexitgodot, on 10/10/2007, -4/+14The RIAA approves
- TheTaoOfBill, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9Knowing how stubborn Americans are it will probably lead to a rise in piracy. Kinda like how the RIAA's tactics has led to a rise in piracy. Americans don't like to see Americans getting pushed around.
- noumuon, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9you say that as if people throughout all of history haven't been pointlessly murdered. what has the world become? what it's always been.
- Bahimiron, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9And you people were bitching last week because some guy who broke copyright law was being forced to use Windows.
- gemadouble, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8You know when humans kill each other for ***** like this, the world is ***** up.
- Solid07, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8The poster doesn't know jack ***** what happened. NK didn't execute them just because of illegal copying and distribution. NK executed them strictly and mainly to protect their stupid laws: No one's allowed to watch shows come from other countries, no one's allowed to sing songs other than NK bs propaganda songs and etc...
This topic is in no way should be compared to what's happening over here in the U.S. with RIAA. Too many ignorant people.. Too late... - Uranium118, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8Piracy, serious business.
- Ladymongoose, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Is anyone suprised by this? It's North Korea, for crying out loud. The citizens are barely allowed to breathe and walk down the streets. Check this site out: http://www.1stopkorea.com/index.htm?nk-trip1.htm~mainframe It's a very entertaining review of one guy's visit to NK. Pretty scary!
- n1pz, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7I think the punishment here is because the movies are South Korean rather than illegally pirated - so possibly an even more insane reason for capital punishment!
EDIT: just noticed giveer said this before me give any digg's for me to him/her. - iFungus, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8Too, sorry
- ChrisAlbon, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Comparison to Hilter
- ChrisAlbon, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Flame about lame Joke
- UrbanOne, on 10/10/2007, -3/+8Um....
Thanks. You just did. Saved us the trouble. - dt07, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4And I thought the Islamic countries were hard on thieves....
- Bleeblaow, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6I think he was commenting on remzeus' poor grammar.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4"During World War II, we claimed that Germans threw little babies up in the air and caught them on their bayonets"
No. We claimed that about the Japanese........because it was true. There are pictures to prove it. You should read up on history before commenting on it in public.
http://www.battlingbastardsbataan.com/som.htm - Ebulating, on 10/10/2007, -3/+7I love threads about North Korea, because they are an excellent way to detect morons on Digg. Anyone seriously comparing the US to North Korea = about as stupid as its possible to be.
- SteelFrog, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5Executing (read, killing/murdering) people for something as trivial as copying movies is insanity. What the hell has the world become?
- static_13, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5Don't give ideas to RIAA.
- Eddm, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Thank God someone pointed this out, I was starting to get bored of reading these comments.
- GMorgan, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5Yes Comrade. After the great care of our glorious leader I now am educated enough to recognise exactly why I was wrong to want things like freedom. Clearly Communism is the path to social cohesion and the welfare of all. I mean those poor Westerners suffer greatly from poverty, they don't have 3 straight meals a week like we have.
- mtrip, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4The constant references to the mpaa or whatever here on digg just go to show how shallow some people's version of reality is. It belittles what N. Korea is doing when you compare it to some trite lawsuit in the US.
- VtmnR, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I'm burying you for abusing that meme.
- Kronos6948, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4I can't wait to hear the RIAA/MPAA push this story and say "At least we're not as bad as this!!"
- africansk8er, on 10/10/2007, -7/+10And I thought that getting sued by the RIAA and make to pay $7000 sucked.
These people are being freaking KILLED! -
