Sony Threatens #Twitter With Legal Action Over Tweets Containing Stolen Emails

Twitter has received a letter from Sony Pictures Entertainment threatening legal action if they do not remove tweets containing content obtained from Sony’s increasingly embarrassing hack, when thousands of emails were stolen from the company.

The letter, which was sent from Sony attorney David Boies, stated that if “stolen information continues to be disseminated by Twitter in any manner” Sony will “hold Twitter responsible for any damage or loss arising from such use or dissemination by Twitter.”

Sony went on to demand that Twitter “comply with all future requests with regard to any other account holder seeking to disseminate the Stolen Information via Twitter.
