Is Sony the victim in their decision to not release "The Interview" Their attorney, David Boies, was on...?

Meet the Press this morning arguing that it was the distributors (movie theaters) that whimped out, not Sony.

SECOND QUESTION if you're interested...

David Boies, lead counsel for Vice President Gore in the 2000 election case and counsel for the plaintiffs in the California Prop 8 case really tried to bring home the point that North Korea was the culprit. He used phrases like "state sponsored criminal act," "threat to national security," "state sponsored attack" and "national security threat." He was redirecting every question to that specific idea, much like a politician always tries to get to his stump in an interview.

Do you think Sony stands to get some money from the US Government if it's ruled a matter of National Security instead of Sony security of if it's ruled that the act was "State sponsored?" I'm not sure but David Boies wasn't there for the fun of it. He had a mission when he decided to be on MTP. Does anyone know?
