Brad Pitt made some notable remarks on Monday night about the Sony hack in the wake of much anger over the way Amy Pascal and Scott Rudin discussed Angelina Jolie and Obama in leaked emails.
As soon as the Sony hackers made their latest threat it was all over the news and the result is exactly what they were looking for : Free marketing.
The Sony hack disaster has gone way too far to the point where people are now attacking the company for wanting to recover their own stolen data. After Sony contacted publishers directly and asked them to delete files, many were not happy and decided to ramp up their criticism.
