James Bond fansites take stand against Sony hacking

A group of responsible James Bond fansite edtors have drafted a joint statement agreeing to not disseminate information about the new James Bond film gathered from the recent Sony hacking. I wholeheartedly support this action and add myself to this commitment. Here is the statement in full as published at CommanderBond.net:

  2. Good on ya, man. Accidental spoilers through fans second guessing plot lines on forums is hard enough to avoid without some jerk publishing the actual stolen facts. I'm pleased you're all taking our pleasure in this franchise mutually seriously.
