An hour after Boing Boing posted a link to a flash movie on a North Korean government-run web site, the North Korean site’s webmaster replaced the movie with this message:

Access to the requested object was denied.

Due to some inconsiderate people linking directly to our multimedia we were forced to take the content offline since it generated too much traffic.

This kind of careless linking to high-profile sites is typical of the internet where people no longer respect that such links could make free content less available….

Boing Boing reader Wil Wheaton notes, “As Communists, their commitment to sharing leaves a lot to be desired.”
