I can't get there. I respect that this is his opinion but I think I'm unable to divorce the action from the result.
And the action here was no-good.
But Greg's reference to the Sony leaks is fair, I've read and joked about the infamous Spider-Man emails. They're hilariously out of touch. But yeah, they were big stolen by the government of a hermit kingdom that regularly engages in the torture, starvation, and killing of its own citizens, outrageous acts of war, and nuclear provocation. And it was done in a way to "pressure" foreign companies against criticism of their monstrous regime.
In the Sony case there is a silver lining in that the end result was the bridge that let Disney and Sony talk. And they both made billions of dollars.
And a good movie or two, which historically Sony Pictures is utterly incapable of doing.
But Greg was right, it was still all bad.
