Izgleda da je osnovni cilj bio da se spriječi puštanje parodijsko-satiričnog filma koji je koštao 44 milijuna dolara
s temom sjeverne koreje u kina: http://deadline.com/2014/12/sony-scraps-the-interview-1201328639/
film je
"the interview" . Čini se da je Sony pristao na prijetnje i odustaje od premijere.
Ovo je ta prijetnja grupe(G.O.P.) koja je odgovorna za hackiranje Sony Pictures internih dokumenata i pošte:
We will clearly show it to you at the very time and places “The Interview” be shown, including the premiere, how bitter fate those who seek fun in terror should be doomed to.
Soon all the world will see what an awful movie Sony Pictures Entertainment has made.
The world will be full of fear.
Remember the 11th of September 2001.
We recommend you to keep yourself distant from the places at that time.
(If your house is nearby, you’d better leave.)
Whatever comes in the coming days is called by the greed of Sony Pictures Entertainment.
All the world will denounce the SONY.
