(CNN) -- Sony's high profile lawyer David Boies is demanding Twitter take action to block tweets that draw upon the material hackers took from the corporation's computer servers. He wants the accounts of those who post the stolen emails to be suspended. Earlier, Boies wrote to news organizations admonishing them that they should not publish stories based on the company's stolen secrets. Gossip-hungry media consumers have been enjoying a feast of salacious celebrity fare from the hacked computers of Sony Entertainment. The U.S. government says North Korea is responsible for the hacking, which apparently was prompted by a Sony movie, "The Interview." Korean leader Kim Jong Un, a man who loves movies but bans virtually all contact between computer, videos and his own starving citizens, is apparently unamused at the film, which makes a joke of his imaginary assassination.
