It's about the insurance on the picture. By not putting it out at all, they get to be cowards on the front end, and recoup losses on the back end. The whole "employees and stockholders" issue gets punted to the insurance company. That's the company that will get to take the bath because of Sony's cowardice.

There is no insurance for choosing not releasing a film and quite frankly, that's an absurd notion.

The apparent decision to forego streaming and DVD sales is also the work of lawyers, from what I have read. Apparently, to collect on insurance, Sony needs a total loss. I would think an insurance company would want them to mitigate their losses, but I don’t write the contracts.

This will move the thread to DC.... BUT, we have a coward for a president that did a global we are sorry tour and this is what happens. I would give my next years salary to see what Bush would have done in this situation. Atleast he had balls and regularly showed his american nuts to the world.
