"Sony Pictures Demands That News Agencies Delete ‘Stolen’ Data"

The studio “does not consent to your possession, review, copying, dissemination, publication, uploading, downloading or making any use” of the information, Mr. Boies wrote in the three-page letter, which was distributed Sunday morning.
 
“If you don’t comply with this request,” he wrote, Sony “will have no choice but to hold you responsible for any damage or loss arising from such use or dissemination by you.”
 
Does David Boies have a leg to stand on here?

I am struck by the sweet irony of a movie studio demanding that news agencies delete the hacked data they have received. These are the same people who heaped praise on Oliver Stone for making the movie Snowden.

Snowden, of course, is a movie about a hacker who hacked into NSA and other computers, and released documents to news agencies.

Irony, indeed.

This stinks.

Know what else stinks? Rdbrewer at Ace uploaded a painting called The Seine at St. Cloud by Edvard Munch and I animated it, that's what.

Good luck, guys.

If the Lefties can print leaked DOD material, it's fair game.

A clever lawyer would say that it's all actually hidden Hollywood child porn and they keep it at their own legal risk.
