一些人——包括边缘人——呼吁索尼在网上发布采访，不管是流媒体à LaNetflix/Hulu或在iTunes/Google Play等服务上**。索尼电影公司首席执行官迈克尔林顿（michaellynton）在接受美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）法雷德•扎卡里亚（fareedzakaria）的采访时表示，虽然索尼“完全有希望”发行这部电影，但在线并不是最直接的选择。网络一整天都在调侃采访——以下是相关片段：

"There are a number of opti*** open to us, and we have c***idered those and are c***idering those. As it stands right now, while there have been a number of suggesti***... there has not been one major VOD distributor [or] one major e-commerce site that has stepped forward and said they're willing to distribute this movie for us... Again we don't have that direct interface with the American public."

这是一个很好的时机提醒我们的读者，索尼有自己的在线视频平台，包括Crackle，杰里·宋飞的喜剧演员在车里喝咖啡的家。

尽管林顿说没有人“挺身而出”，但他没有说明索尼是否已经做出了任何努力，至少在CNN播出的预告片中没有提到，他也没有提到DVD/Blu-ray的计划。今天早些时候，奥巴马称索尼不发行这部电影是一个“错误”。

事实上，有一个平台提供了在网上分发采访：BitTorrent。

最新消息：索尼影业娱乐公司（Sony Pictures Entertainment）的一份最新声明称，该公司“正在积极研究替代方案，以使我们能够在不同的平台上发布这部电影。”

Sony Pictures Entertainment is and always has been strongly committed to the First Amendment. For more than three weeks, despite brutal intrusi*** into our company and our employees’ personal lives, we maintained our focus on one goal: getting the film The Interview released. Free expression should never be suppressed by threats and extortion. The decision not to move forward with the December 25 theatrical release of The Interview was made as a result of the majority of the nation’s theater owners choosing not to screen the film. This was their decision. Let us be clear – the only decision that we have made with respect to release of the film was not to release it on Christmas Day in theaters, after the theater owners declined to show it. Without theaters, we could not release it in the theaters on Christmas Day. We had no choice. After that decision, we immediately began actively surveying alternatives to enable us to release the movie on a different platform. It is still our hope that anyone who wants to see this movie will get the opportunity to do so.
