Wikileaks releases ‘The Sony Archives’ showing corporation’s ties to White House

Secret-spilling group WikiLeaks has taken the trove of documents stolen during last year’s colossal Sony Pictures Entertainment hack and made them searchable through a new database to show “the inner workings of an influential multinational corporation.”

Among the contents discovered by WikiLeaks, the group said, are internal Sony emails discussing the secrecy group’s unauthorized publication in 2013 of a draft trade agreement, as well as the legal plight of Kim Dotcom, the internet kingpin who became Hollywood’s number one enemy through his former file-sharing site, Megaupload.

​Today, WikiLeaks published a new searchable archive containing the leaked email inboxes of top Sony executives. Disturbingly, it shows that months after the hack, we’ve still only just begun investigating the close ties between Sony and the US government.

“This archive shows the inner workings of an influential multinational corporation,” WikiLeaks editor-in-chief Julian Assange said in a statement. “It is newsworthy and at the centre of a geopolitical conflict. It belongs in the public domain. WikiLeaks will ensure it stays there.”

A search through the WikiLeaks Sony archive for “state.gov” email addresses—WikiLeaks reports that there are nearly 100 government email addresses in the archive—reveals an exceedingly cozy relationship between Sony Pictures Entertainment CEO Michael Lynton and US government officials including the State Department, various international ambassadors, and the president.

I think I know what KDC will be doing for the rest of the day…

    So this is probably what KDC tweeted about being so happy about in the last couple of days.

  2. The difference between the Republicans and the Democrats seems to be that Wall Street owns the Republicans while Hollywood owns the Democrats.

      The difference between the Republicans and the Democrats is; the difference between two sides of the same coin.

        Yup, for most Americans its a case of ‘heads they (the govt) win, tails we lose’

    I actually feel better about Sony now I know at least they did not join the witch hunt against Dotcom like Twentieth Century Fox, Disney, Paramount Pictures, Universal, Columbia Pictures and Warner Brothers.

    I’m sick of this country being owned and run by the Entertainment industry.

    Our own prime minister doesn’t know Fact from Fiction.

    Soon decent people will have to boycott the movie industry payback for their war on Internet freedom.

    I’m tired of film studios and TV execs. Too much money, too much power, too much political influence.

    First was Dotcom, then journo’s, then campbell Live,

    I’m F-ing sick of them all. Stop watching TV and movies and cut off their revenue sources. Could help consumerism at the same time.
