Sony Pictures is a US corporation.

+5 funny.

Are you new to planet earth and the way the movie companies work?

The threat that stopped the movie from being released was the claim of blowing up theaters. Why would the theater chains who backed out care about Sony's data being leaked?

Subverting standards and products is not having a God-like power. It's well within the means of a nation-state agency with an unlimited black budget. Their own documents even prove this.

Sony was going to release it up until all the major theater chains said they wouldn't show it. It's sort of hard to release a movie into theaters when none of them will show it.

Have pigs sprouted wings and started flying in your universe?

And posting to pastebin is now "coding" apparently.

How dare you! Posting to pastebin is coding!!!

Nothing. This is just unadulterated clickbait.

Other than straight to video there is no where to release it to. Most of the theater chains in the US backed away from it.

Exactly. Sony was going to press forward with the release regardless of the intrusion. What shutdown the movie was the pastebin threat that caused a bunch of theater chains to shit themselves.

Again, you've not actually contradicted me. Subsidiaries are subject to the laws and courts of the country under which they've incorporated. In the case of Sony Pictures that is the US.

Hahaha. That's gotta be one of the dumbest things I've ever read. Sony Pictures is a US corporation precisely because of its country of incorporation. The country you incorporate in is the country under which law you are subject to.

You aren't really dumb enough to think being a subsidiary of an international company means that the subsidiary isn't subject to the laws of the country it's incorporated in, do you?

And that contradicts anything I said, how? A US corporation, Sony Pictures, is still subject to US laws and courts. It being the subsidiary of an international company doesn't change that.
