Sony: We Haven't Caved To The Hackers And We're Going To Release 'The Interview' Anyway
Sony Entertainment's lawyer said on Meet The Press Sunday that the company will find a way to release "The Interview" after it decided not to premiere the film in theaters on Christmas Day.
The lawyer, David Boies, called Sony's decision a "delay" in the movie's release and implied that it hasn't been shelved for good. But Boies said Sony doesn't know how it'll end up distributing the movie.
"Sony only delayed this," Boies said. "Sony has been fighting to get this pciture distributed. It will be distributed. How it's going to be distributed I don't think anyone knows quite yet."
This contradicts earlier Sony statements that made it seem like the movie would never be released, not even online or through video on demand services.
On Friday, Sony Entertainment CEO Michael Lynton told CNN that the company didn't "cave" to the hacker group Guardians of Peace (GOP) by canceling "The Interview" premiere. Instead, he said Sony made the decision because the top theater chains wouldn't show the theater after the GOP threatened the safety of people who go see the movie.
Before that, President Obama told reporters at a news conference that Sony made a "mistake" by caving to the GOP's demands and not allowing "The Interview" to premiere. That echoed a sentiment from many pundits that Sony set a bad precedent proving that hackers groups can control US corporations by threatening hacks.
Also on Friday, the FBI said there's enough evidence to link North Korea to the GOP and the hacks on Sony.
Here's the full clip from Boies' interview on Meet The Press:

Kim Jong Un Death Scene (The Interview) - Ending Scene
USA strikes back. North Korea internet is down.
USA strikes back. North Korea internet is down.
The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (that's "North Korea" to the common man) has just four networks that connect to the world wide web -- and none of them are working today.
"The situation now is they are totally offline," Doug Madory, director of internet analysis at Dyn Research told Bloomberg. After a weekend of spotty connections, the country's pipeline to the outside world reportedly went down this morning. "This isn't normal for them," Madory said. "Usually they are up solid. It is kind of out of the ordinary. This is not like anything I've seen before."
The Network researcher didn't go out of his way to suggest that North Korea's internet service is under direct attack, but the idea has some merit. Just last week the FBI that it believed North Korea to be behind the recent hack at Sony Pictures, and US President Barack Obama promised to "respond proportionally, and in a place, time and manner that we choose."
Considering the events of the past week, it's an easy suspicion to cling to, but it's also very unconfirmed: White House National Security spokeswoman Bernadette Meehan stated that the White House has no new comments on North Korea today. "If in fact North Korea's internet has gone down," she wrote to Bloomberg, "We'd refer you to that government for comment."
US involvement isn't the only possibility either -- North Korean's own infrastructure could simply be buckling due to poor maintenance or, more likely, China (the country through which North Korea pipes all of its internet connections)could be disrupting service directly. As always, it's difficult to pinpoint the source of a proposed attack without direct evidence.
Though if such evidence does come forward, it could mean more drama: North Korea has warned that the US will face "serious consequences" if it moves to attack North Korea in retaliation for the Sony attacks, which, of course, the People's Republic vehemently denies involvement with.
