> But by then Sony Pictures as an entity may no longer exist.

Is that a bad thing? I'm asking honestly.

Why would you think that Sony Pictures ceasing to exist is a bad thing?

Many other companies that made bad decisions ceased to exist before thus releasing their employees so they could work at places that don't make that many bad decisions.

Why is that bad?

Because in this case the company isn't failing because it made some critical error, but because a group of criminals essentially broke in and vandalized the place? Is it a bad thing when a company that's shot up and robbed by thieves disbands? Clearly they should've had better protections in place.

I don't really like Sony, but the employees don't deserve to be out of a job just because their employer got breached.

Their critical error was not taking digital security seriously.
