Sony to pay staff $8m over 'The Interview' hack.
Summary.
Sony Pictures Entertainment has reached a settlement with current and former employees. The settlement was filed with the US District Court in Los Angeles. Hackers calling themselves Guardians of Peace broke into Sony computers and last November released thousands of emails and documents in an attempt to derail the release of the North Korean-focused comedy The Interview.
Key Data.
- The agreement calls for up to $10,000 a person, capped at $2.5m, to reimburse workers for identity theft losses, up to $1,000 each to cover the cost of credit-fraud protection services, capped at $2m, and up to $3.5m in legal fees.
- agreeing to pay up to $8m to reimburse them for losses preventative measures and legal fees related to the hack of its computers last year.
My view.
due to this hacking, i agree that sony should pay. they did wrong and therefore have to pay the price.
Jeremy Corbyn just gave his first big interview – and people loved it.
Summary.
Jeremy Corbyn’s first big TV interview, on the BBC’s Andrew Marr Show, has been received with praise on social media. the party’s new leader made a series of frank admissions over big, divisive issues. Viewers appeared to lap up the controversial statements. The twittersphere was clogged with users falling over themselves to praise Mr Corbyn’s refreshing method of answering a journalist’s questions at face value. Many viewers were critical of Marr's interview style. Mr Corbyn readily admitted there are divisions in Labour. But even Mr Corbyn’s strongest New Labour critics had to admit he gave a strong performance on the show.
My View.
Corbyn has had a very good first interview and i think it is seen as a really big thing across the country that people are very happy with him and what he has to say.
