Proving otherwise doesn't make a difference. According to US LAW Sony Pictures Entertainment is an American company protected by the US Government. Playstation Network is part of Sony Computer Entertainment, which is NOT a US company, but a foreign multinational.

Even the media itself is saying this is a blow to American media and freedom of speech.
Sony kowtowing to the attack is a reflection of US media. America couldn't do anything to protect its own people from further damage. The movie was cancelled to protect US citizens. This is a reflection on America. It doesn't matter who the parent company is.

Yeah, actually it does make a difference.  And you're incorrect, according to US Law, Sony Pictures Entertainment is an American subsidiary of a Japanese company.

And no offense, but who cares what the American media says?  They've proven they're more than willing to incorrectly report, or outright lie, in order to create firestorms, and considering they're under no legal obligation to tell the truth to their viewers, it's a miracle anyone actually takes them at face value.  Well, not really a miracle, we just have a shitload of idiots in America.
