SONY has now cancelled the release of The Interview

[951-Riverside]

24. Sony did it to themselves

You don't release a movie about assassinating the leader of another nation then leave all of your data out in the open. They or their surrogates (CHINA) are going to start sniffing around.

Back in 2011 the PlayStation Network was taken down for 23 days and massive amounts of data was stolen. The Sony Corp is notorious at leaving themselves vulnerable to attacks.

I fully support Sony's right under the first amendment to make and distribute this movie but the right to free speech does not protect them from some despotic nation collecting data and intelligence on them and using it to blackmail them. They should have secured their shit before taking on this venture.

What Sony did is equivalent to me posting my address on craigslist along with a photo of a stack of cash then leaving my door wide open. It just attracts the wrong kind of attention and also puts the people living around me at risk or in Sony's case fellow movie distribution companies.

I don't like that some fat pig in North Korea who can barely walk and starves his own people has a say in what an American company can release but Sony gave him and other bad actors the leverage because their shitty security protocols.
