Quote:

The letter-sent from David Boies, the lawyer Sony has hired to help guide it through the aftermath of the hack, to Vijaya Gadde, Twitter's general counsel-says that if "stolen information continues to be disseminated by Twitter in any manner," Sony will "hold Twitter responsible for any damage or loss arising from such use or dissemination by Twitter."

sony getting desperate...
and trying really hard to hide something we didn't see yet...

otherwise - why would they bother

Last I heard, the law protects social media organizations like Twitter from libelous things thier users say.

Unless I'm very wrong about that, this is a PR move more than anything. Threatening to sue Twitter makes Sony look like they're in control, which stops the stock price from plummeting any more.

When you actually read some of the information contained in the leaks you start to realize just how unsympathetic a hacking victim Sony is.

EDIT: accidentally the whole meaning
