Sony Pictures co-chairman Amy Pascal has gotten most of the attention from the document hack

Sony Pictures is going on the offensive against news outlets that are publishing details of tens of thousands of hacked emails that have embarrassed the company.  

Lawyers for the film studio sent out letters to media companies that have reported on the contents of the hacked emails. The letters state that the data was stolen from Sony Pictures and ask that media outlets destroy any of the documents that they may posses.

The vast troves of data are slowly being released online by hackers calling themselves the 'Guardians of Peace.' The documents are widely available on peer-to-peer file sharing sites online. It is widely believed that North Korea is behind the hack attack.

'(Sony Pictures Entertainment) does not consent to your possession, review, copying, dissemination, publication, uploading, downloading, or making any use of the Stolen Information, and to request your cooperation in destroying the Stolen Information,' reads a letter from David Boies - the star attorney hired by Sony Pictures.

The New York Times, The Hollywood Reporter, Variety and Gawker Media published stories reporting that they had each received a letter from David Boies, an attorney for Sony, demanding that the outlets stop reporting information contained in the documents and immediately destroy them.
