North Korea had hoped that they would be able to cyberbully Sony from releasing The Interview as well as the rest of the world from seeing it. They seem to have failed on both measures and have dramatically increased the popularity of what most are calling a mediocre comedy. It will soon break 1 million torrent downloads and is already considered a success through legal means in the United States.

The number of estimated downloads had exceeded 750,000 after 20 hours. The number of active sharers on the most popular torrent is more than three times higher than 10 hours ago (close to 100k).
