You're kidding yourself if you think they won't release it all anyway.
Yeah but if there's any possibility of preventing that data to leak online, don't you think Sony would try doing that?
Everyone critizing Sony, are you forgetting Sony is a business. They don't care about fighting terrorism, they only care about saving their asses and what they did was the only option they have right now, that serves them best.
They obviously are scared shitless because of more damaging data being leaked.Yes there's a possibility they will still go ahead and leak stuff, but there's a slight chance that they might not.
Did the other companies or the president make any public statement before Sony made the decision of cancelling the movie to show support for Sony, that they have sonys back?
If Sony went ahead and released it. If there was any truth to the threat and people got hurt. Wouldn't people criticize Sony for ignoring such a threat.
Sony already got screwed so I don't think they were in the best position to stand up to these terrorists. It's the other studios like paramount and fox that need to be criticized for being so scared when they weren't even the targets.
