This makes no sense. The original demand was for money and wasn't political.
> Then on Nov. 21, a strange message popped into several Sony executives’ inboxes. It was three days before the hacks debilitated the company. And this was their first contact. But the message didn’t talk politics. It didn’t mention anything about “The Interview.” What did the hackers want? Money.
> “We’ve got great damage by Sony Pictures,” the message said, according to a copy published by Mashable. “The compensation for it, monetary compensation we want. Pay the damage, or Sony Pictures will be bombarded as a whole.” The message was signed: “From God’sApstls.”

- einrealist 12y agoWe must not forget that they threatened the US. So it would not make sense if they did not react (to the allegations and the movie) in the first place.
