Big film studios are losing their grip on what has been a captive market and they don't like it. The recent decision in the UK (and elsewhere) not to extend the criminal law to streaming piracy films over the internet must've hit Hollywood and environs hard, as they planned to ensure that a commercial business was protected by the full force of the criminal law - not simply civil law (which big corporations routinely ignore as a matter of policy anyway). It didn't work out for them, and we now know from the recent leaks that the film business has drawn up plans to counter the piracy industry by all means necessary. Tie that together with a chance to engage North Korea with a propaganda campaign making them even more of a outlaw nation and it seems tho tick all the boxes.
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
