If Sony had released the movie and if the distributors and theaters accepted it and and if an attack happened, Sony would take much of the blame, face massive lawsuits and suffer an even worse PR problem than they have now. Chances are many of the same people currently criticizing Sony for pulling the film would be even more critical towards them if there was a violent attack. They are in a no-win situation.
the release of the (stupid) film would've made no difference at all. The hack had nothing whatsoever to do w/the film. It's just a big smokescreen.
