Showing Original Post only (View all)Gloating hackers warn Sony not to release 'The Interview' in any form [View all]
Can we all agree now that Sony was insane to stop the release of this movie? More threats will come now if they release it on DVD. They will threaten to blow up stores that sell it I assume.Sony asked for this when they caved initially. Now the "terrorists" are empowered! Sony is clueless!!!
Hackers sent a new email Friday to Sony Pictures Entertainment, gloating over the studio's "wise" decision to cancel the release of "The Interview" and warning not to distribute the film "in any form."
The email was confirmed by a person close to the studio who requested anonymity because the person wasn't authorized to speak publicly about the matter. It was sent to several employees of the Culver City, California, company that's been roiled by a hacking group calling itself Guardians of Peace.
"Very wise to cancel 'the interview' it will be very useful for you," read the message. "We ensure the purity of your data and as long as you make no more trouble."
The email also warned against any release of the Seth Rogen, James Franco comedy and insisted that "anything related to the movie, including trailers" be removed from the Internet.
"Now we want you never let the movie released, distributed or leaked in any form of, for instance, DVD or piracy," wrote the hackers.

In the end I suspect the movie will be seen by far more people than if there was no controversy

Yes, but it allowed the media to fear monger for a few days as nothing else is happening.
