to the greedy,safety and losing money are the same thing. Blow the studio walls or bankrupt them away, its the same thing at the end of the day.
And its probably good that it is the same. If sony had zero risk of losing money, I'm pretty convinced they'd go ahead and do just about anything even if it would risk lives. The money is probably worth a whole lot more to them

Ditto. On the flip-side, he says something about strengthening infrastructure, which makes me worry what regulations will be put in place and how it might effect internet freedom.

Not taking the blame fully away from Sony, but didn't like 3 or 4 large theater companies say they would show The Interview before Sony finally bailed? Kind of hard to make money when no one will show your movie.
Yes, but I believe Sony gave them the option too, which they didn't have to. Otherwise I think they were contractually obligated to show it.
Yea Sony let them bail, and they all chose to.
