Sony Tells Media Not to Use Leaked Documents

Sony Pictures Entertainment has retained David Boies, one of the nation’s most prominent attorneys, in an effort to stop news publications from using stolen documents that have been leaked online.

Boies sent a letter to media organizations including The Wall Street Journal, the New York Times and Bloomberg News. The letter requested that the companies destroy any contracts, e-mails and other internal information that has been released on the Internet following a cyberattack on the Sony-owned studio three weeks ago. “If you do not comply with this request and the Stolen Information is used or disseminated by you in any manner,” the letter reads, “[Sony Pictures] will have no choice but to hold you responsible for any damage or loss arising from such use or dissemination by you.”
