I'm sure this is motivated by a "take the kid's toys away until he apologizes" mentality. However, I think it's a good idea and is related to the Galt's Gulch idea. Take the supply away from the looters and they will come to their knees.

Sure, it's good that we ban exports like this, but how will this have any effect? Something tells me that iPod demands are fairly small in such a poverty-stricken country.

I think the idea is to punish Kim Jong Il personally, not to punish the people in North Korea generally. Kim Jong Il is known to like gadgets.
