And you're suggesting no media coverage for Breivik?
No but one that treats him as he deserved. The media and authorities did a farily good job at it. They did not display him in the way he wanted to be seen nor did they give him the time to go on his public rants whenever he wanted. The coverage of his underlying delusional preachings was also very limit such as it was supposed to be.
Alternatively they could have in detail laid out his writings and diaries. Let him talk and broadcast it in the public hearings. Analyzed and explained his philosophy in detail. Instead he was displayed the deranged individual that he was not worth listening to and no point trying to understand his motives.

That movie had one quite obvious purpose and it did more than just reach its goal.
The movies goals were going to be met under any circumstance!
I don't see how. It was made some few months ago. I looked at the trailer on youtube and I seriously doubt anybody who stumbles on it could handle more than 20 seconds of this clip. Nobody in the West would have taken note of it and nobody in the arabic world if people hadn't put it on any blog and newsletter.
Even once it shows up on ones radar for the life of me I cannot understand why it is not just dismissed as an embarrassingly dumb attempt of insult. Everybody in his life comes across things, people and opinions that are so ridiculous they are worth a moments attention. It is one thing about some in your face activism like protesting in front of a building but on the other side of the world some guy can always be found that prints something hateful, the wise thing is to ignore it.
Don't feed the troll as the old usenet wisdom says.

If anything this success will encourage more of the same. Just like there will always be some neo-nazis in some corner, there will always be some intolerant extremists that want their own preaching to make waves.
To every action there's a reaction, hopefully the reaction will make them think twice the next time!
Not sure you are getting my point. The reaction is the one sought after. It is not a discouragement it is encouraging.
Assuming an inverse example. You have a novel idea for a fund raiser for poor children. It spreads virally and money comes in like crazy. When the next project comes along will you try a different strategy or keep with what has worked before.

The producer is actually undergoing criminal proceedings as all criminals should!
people who watch the movie (and they're free to do so) will know they're of the same class as the producer, he's actually wanted on several charges and was under house arrest before the movie itself. I don't think anyone sees him as a hero unless like minded twits!
He was only questions and admitted that he used the web which was against his parole regulations. That is not a huge crime and might not have any consequences at all or very limited ones. If he goes back to prison it would be for other things like maybe he defrauded some of the financiers of the movie. I don't believe it did cost 5 mio. I have only seen 30 sec though.
That some will see him as hero regardless is the problem though like minded will see him as a hero and any consequence on parol violation will only be seen as some act of martyrdom.
The rest of the so called west don't support nor care about that film, it is mostly just stunned disbelieve and resignation.
