  • The 2014 Sony Hack and the Role of International Law
    The 2014 Sony Hack and the Role of International Law Clare Sullivan* INTRODUCTION 2014 has been dubbed “the year of the hack” because of the number of hacks reported by the U.S. federal government and major U.S. corporations in busi- nesses ranging from retail to banking and communications. According to one report there were 1,541 incidents resulting in the breach of 1,023,108,267 records, a 78 percent increase in the number of personal data records compro- mised compared to 2013.1 However, the 2014 hack of Sony Pictures Entertain- ment Inc. (Sony) was unique in nature and in the way it was orchestrated and its effects. Based in Culver City, California, Sony is the movie making and entertain- ment unit of Sony Corporation of America,2 the U.S. arm of Japanese electron- ics company Sony Corporation.3 The hack, discovered in November 2014, did not follow the usual pattern of hackers attempting illicit activities against a business. It did not specifically target credit card and banking information, nor did the hackers appear to have the usual motive of personal financial gain. The nature of the wrong and the harm inflicted was more wide ranging and their motivation was apparently ideological. Identifying the source and nature of the wrong and harm is crucial for the allocation of legal consequences. Analysis of the wrong and the harm show that the 2014 Sony hack4 was more than a breach of privacy and a criminal act. If, as the United States maintains, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (herein- after North Korea) was behind the Sony hack, the incident is governed by international law.

  • A SONY PICTURES CLASSICS RELEASE Www
    A SONY PICTURES CLASSICS RELEASE www.itmightgetloudmovie.com Running time: 97 minutes *Official Selection: 2008 Toronto International Film Festival *Official Selection: 2009 Sundance Film Festival Publicity Distributor PMK/HBH Sony Pictures Classics Allen Eichhorn Carmelo Pirrone 622 Third Avenue Lindsay Macik 8th Floor 550 Madison Ave New York, NY 10017 New York, NY 10022 212-373-6115 Tel: 212-833-8833 [email protected] Short Synopsis Rarely can a film penetrate the glamorous surface of rock legends. It Might Get Loud tells the personal stories, in their own words, of three generations of electric guitar virtuosos – The Edge (U2), Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin), and Jack White (The White Stripes). It reveals how each developed his unique sound and style of playing favorite instruments, guitars both found and invented. Concentrating on the artist’s musical rebellion, traveling with him to influential locations, provoking rare discussion as to how and why he writes and plays, this film lets you witness intimate moments and hear new music from each artist. The movie revolves around a day when Jimmy Page, Jack White, and The Edge first met and sat down together to share their stories, teach and play. Long Synopsis Who hasn't wanted to be a rock star, join a band or play electric guitar? Music resonates, moves and inspires us. Strummed through the fingers of The Edge, Jimmy Page and Jack White, somehow it does more. Such is the premise of It Might Get Loud, a new documentary conceived by producer Thomas Tull. It Might Get Loud isn't like any other rock'n roll documentary.

  • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Press Contact: Bebe Lerner (323) 822-4800 Sheri Goldberg (646) 723-3800
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Press Contact: Bebe Lerner (323) 822-4800 Sheri Goldberg (646) 723-3800 SONY PICTURES CLASSICS ACQUIRES ALL NORTH AMERICAN RIGHTS TO LIFE, ABOVE ALL New York (June XX, 2010) – Sony Pictures Classics announced today that they have acquired all North American rights to the highly acclaimed LIFE, ABOVE ALL from Munich based world sales company Bavaria Film International. The film was an official selection at this year’s Cannes Film Festival and received overwhelmingly positive responses from critics and audiences alike, also winning the “Francois Chalais Prize,” awarded to those films dedicated to the values of life affirmation and journalism. The film was previously sold to ARP for France and Nachshon for Israel with Senator handling German speaking Europe. LIFE, ABOVE ALL, directed by Oliver Schmitz (MAPANTSULA, PARIS JE T’AIME) is based on the 2005 award-winning novel CHANDA’S SECRETS by Allan Stratton. It is a suspense-filled drama about a young girl in South Africa who fights to rescue the people she loves. Through dramatic storytelling, the film captures the enduring strength of loyalty, the profound impact of loss, and a fearlessness that is powered by the heart. SPC and Bavaria previously worked together on RUN LOLA RUN, GOOD BYE, LENIN!, THE MAN WITHOUT A PAST, and I SERVED THE KING OF ENGLAND. LIFE, ABOVE ALL is a Dreamer Joint Venture production in co-production with Senator Film Produktion, Enigma Pictures and Niama-Film. “I am exceedingly happy that Sony Pictures Classics is releasing LIFE, ABOVE ALL in North America. I have always admired their unfailing ability to honor cinema at its best and really look forward to working with them.

SPANISH BROADCASTING SYSTEM, INC. Nancy A. Ory Paul A. Cicelski Laura M. Berman Lerman Senter PLLC 2001 L Street NW, Suite 400 Washington, DC 20036 Tel. (202) 429-8970 April 19, 2017 Their Attorneys -ii- SUMMARY In this Petition, WSBS Licensing, Inc. and its parent company Spanish Broadcasting System, Inc. (“SBS”) seek modification of the television market of WSBS-TV, Key West, Florida (the “Station”), to reinstate 41 communities (the “Communities”) located in the Miami- Ft. Lauderdale Designated Market Area (the “Miami-Ft. Lauderdale DMA” or the “DMA”) that were previously deleted from the Station’s television market by virtue of a series of market modification decisions released in 1996 and 1997. SBS seeks recognition that the Communities located in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties form an integral part of WSBS-TV’s natural market. The elimination of the Communities prior to SBS’s ownership of the Station cannot diminish WSBS-TV’s longstanding service to the Communities, to which WSBS-TV provides significant locally-produced news and public affairs programming targeted to residents of the Communities, and where the Station has developed many substantial advertising relationships with local businesses throughout the Communities within the Miami-Ft. Lauderdale DMA. Cable operators have obviously long recognized that a clear nexus exists between the Communities and WSBS-TV’s programming because they have been voluntarily carrying WSBS-TV continuously for at least a decade and continue to carry the Station today.

  • Sony Pictures Classics Acquires Sundance Favorite Before Midnight
    SONY PICTURES CLASSICS ACQUIRES SUNDANCE FAVORITE BEFORE MIDNIGHT NEW YORK (January 25, 2013) - Sony Pictures Classics announced today that they have acquired all North American and UK rights to Richard Linklater’s BEFORE MIDNIGHT, the third installment to BEFORE SUNRISE and BEFORE SUNSET, starring Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy. Like BEFORE SUNSET, the third film is written by Academy Award® nominees Linklater, Hawke and Delpy. Premiering to critical acclaim in the Premieres Section on Sunday evening at the Sundance Film Festival, BEFORE MIDNIGHT has been one of the most talked about films at the festival. The film is produced by Linklater, Christos V. Konstantakopoulos and Sara Woodhatch and executive produced by Jacob Pechenik, Martin Shafer, Liz Glotzer, and John Sloss. The deal was negotiated by SPC and Cinetic Media on behalf of the filmmakers. In BEFORE MIDNIGHT, we meet Celine and Jesse 9 years on. Almost 2 decades have passed since that first meeting on a train bound for Vienna, and we now find them in their early 40's in Greece. Before the clock strikes midnight, we will again become part of their story. "In 1991 we were in Sundance with SLACKER and we witnessed the birth of a major American filmmaker. At Sundance 2013 with BEFORE MIDNIGHT, we have further confirmation that Richard Linklater is a film master at the peak of his form. This one has it all as entertainment and as a work of cinematic art. It is a perfect movie made by not one but three auteurs, Rick, Ethan Hawke, and Julie Delpy. This movie will be incredibly successful around the world.
