North Korea's dictatorship has blocked its people from learning about the outside world for more than 60 years. But the wall of propaganda has begun to crack as North Koreans use real-life social networks to illegally share South Korean TV dramas and pop music on everything from DVDs to USB sticks.

The internet:  The great equalizer and cure for the disease of lack of information.  It's good to see some cracks developing there.  I might have to dump in my other HD and dedicate it to YaCy or some such.  I would find it amusing.
