Sony Pictures has cancelled the planned release of the film The Interview, after many cinemas decided not to screen it. The comedy is about a fictional plot to kill the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un. Hackers have already carried out a cyber-attack on Sony and warned the public to stay away from cinemas screening the film. Some unconfirmed reports say that an FBI-led investigation has linked North Korea to the attack. Has Sony made the right decision for the film, not to be released?
