    [h=2]“The Interviewâ€￾ now available on Google Play and YouTube Movies[/h]Posted: Wednesday, December 24, 2014

    Last Wednesday Sony began contacting a number of companies, including Google, to ask if we’d be able to make their movie, "The Interview," available online. We'd had a similar thought and were eager to help—though given everything that’s happened, the security implications were very much at the front of our minds.

    Of course it was tempting to hope that something else would happen to ensure this movie saw the light of day. But after discussing all the issues, Sony and Google agreed that we could not sit on the sidelines and allow a handful of people to determine the limits of free speech in another country (however silly the content might be).

    So starting at 10 a.m. PST in the U.S., you can rent or buy "The Interview" on Google Play and YouTube Movies. It will also be available to Xbox Video customers and via www.seetheinterview.com.

    Very happy this is seeing the light of day. IMO an artist has the right to handle their work of fiction in any way, shape or form. Besides hurting someone IRL or taking away someone's rights, there should be no limit to artistic freedom in a work of art.

    VOD? Who cares, it's probably all a stunt for money. :p
