We knew Kim Jong Il's regime rationed rice and soybeans from time to time, but -- bandwidth? An hour after this Boing Boing post was published, the webmaster for the People's Democratic Republic of Korea website replaced the movie with a message scolding for having had the audacity to link to it:
[click for image of the DPRK warning notice]
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.
We will never charge money to pay for the bandwidth, so if people are going to expect high-quality content they should make their own copy of the large file and share it from their own server.
Questions can be sent to support@korea-dpr.com for technical advice.
Thank you and have a nice day.

Hope Dear Leader won't mind that I mirrored it here: New Link to Movie.
....[Here's] a kickass soundtrack from the North Korean Delegation animation. Quite frankly, I'm sticking this in iTunes and keeping it on repeat on my iPod as I ride the Greyhound to New York City for 8 hours. Meanwhile, remixers, start your engines!
