Sony should release The Interview online for free and accept donations

Too be honest it will be leaked onto a torrent tracker within a week.

Shame they've not capitalised on this because it is massive free publicity for the film.

What they're doing right now IS creating publicity. Now people are going to want to see the film, just because it was "cancelled".

They're one of the largest corporations in the world. They know what they're doing lol

I believe Romney was first to make this suggestion 3 days ago.

From his Twitter

".@SonyPictures don’t cave, fight: release @TheInterview free online globally. Ask viewers for voluntary $5 contribution to fight #Ebola."

It might be still creating publicity but they're not going to make any money from it unless or until they've got a product to sell. Hype will die down eventually. The film will likely leak at some point as well. I wonder if the Korean's have that too but obviously wouldn't release it.

It leaked. Nice Christmas present for Kimmy  . Think I'll watch it later today.

With the recent news that Sony won't be releasing The Interview in theaters because of the clowns in North Korea, maybe they should release it online for free and solicit donations. One of those donation methods, obviously, BTC.

They probably wouldn't get enough in donations to cover the cost compared to traditional methods of distribution. It's easy to get thousands of dollars in donations. It's not easy to get millions.

I've been told the movie is actually shit and a waste of time.
