Sony Pictures Entertainment CEO, Michael Lynton, had the following to say about the Internet at a breakfast co-hosted by The New Yorker and the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications.

I'm a guy who doesn't see anything good having come from the Internet...(The Internet) created this notion that anyone can have whatever they want at any given time. It's as if the stores on Madison Avenue were open 24 hours a day. They feel entitled. They say, 'Give it to me now,' and if you don't give it to them for free, they'll steal it.
