Interesting, thanks for the information.
It reminds me that I had read that Russia doesn't care about foreign copyright either, and it makes sense.
And by extension, North Korea?
Watching foreign movies is illegal north korea. They might not care about the right holders, but they certainly care about not letting their citizen watch foreign movies.
I was thinking in the line of more on facilitating piracy and profiting from that on a state level rather than watching it on a personal level. You know being a haven for pirates and hacking groups.
Pirates and hacking groups rebellious spirit seems to run counter with what North Korean government stood for, so I doubt their government would facilitating them except due to massive oversight or incompetence. Also, can you get fast internet on North Korea? According to some survey, the average internet speed there is 2 mbps.
