This statement now from SONY:
“Those who attacked us stole our intellectual property, private emails, and sensitive and proprietary material, and sought to destroy our spirit and our morale – all apparently to thwart the release of a movie they did not like,” the statement reads.
“We are deeply saddened at this brazen effort to suppress the distribution of a movie, and in the process do damage to our company, our employees, and the American public,” it continues. “We stand by our filmmakers and their right to free expression and are extremely disappointed by this outcome.”
While there is not yet a decision on how the movie will be released or if theaters will ever show it, this news is major.. This is unprecedented.. a major movie company losing a battle in the cyber war theater..
The decision by SONY came after major movie theater chains decided today not to show the film on Christmas day..
