9. Sony Corporation is the Japanese-based entity that is the parent to and OWNS

Dec 2014

Sony Pictures, Sony Electronics, Sony Music, and the rest of "Sony Group" companies. Sony is not an "American company" and neither is "Sony Pictures Entertainment".

That's just like saying because Toyota has a manufacturing plant and "U.S. headquarters" in Texas headed up by Americans, that it's suddenly not a Japanese company.

Alternately, Ford has a plant in Hiroshima headed up by Japanese, so you know, Ford is a "Japanese company" right?

Lost in the typical, silly North Korean bluster is a great idea elias49 Dec 2014 #1
