Sony Pictures Entertainment pulled the planned Christmas Day release of the picture after the hackers threatened 9/11-like terror attacks on cinemas showing the comedy.

And now, many are making it public how upset they are with Sony.

  1. What about the NSA spying on us and then blackmailing the politicians. We lost that war.

    1. I forget, what is spying again? What is the role of the CIA again?

  2. Easy to say for the average person who knows nothing about technology.

  3. 12:58-True,so it could be the first that we the people know of,or have been made aware of.When the entertainment venue is involved the public is unavoidably involved.

  4. When weird computer,technology,communication etc malfunctions arise we always just consider it a glitch in the system.If no one tells us these things have an external origin how are we to know? Numerous minor inconveniences may have been intentional attacks.

  5. I think Sony caved because they didn't want any more information leaked on their day to day e-mails or their practice of shafting female actresses over male actors. Just think, all the current fuss was over like one person's e-mail to one other person. What would be revealed if the head honcho's stuff went public. Just my personal opinion of course, but I don't think the 911 threats were what tipped the boat to make them cave.
