This.
I don't think Sony
wants to lose tens of millions of dollars by canceling a movie release and damaging their reputation even further. However, I can see insurance companies scaring Sony into doing this and Sony trying to avoid huge lawsuits from the public. What are the chances that someone can watch The Interview and want a little cash from a lawsuit claiming that he suffered emotional stress while watching the video because he feared for his life? As stupid as that sounds, it wouldn't surprise me if thousands of Americans stooped that low. Isn't it possible and wouldn't it be catastrophic for Sony?
