"While Christian Bale, Bradley Cooper, Jeremy Renner and director David O. Russell received nine points of profit, Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Adams got 7. And Jennifer Lawrence was originally slated to receive just 5.
This revelation, unfortunately too commonplace in Hollywood to be shocking, could be the long-awaited “tipping point” needed for state and federal agencies to launch industry-wide legal action to fight gender inequity under Title VII."

This would be exciting. Obviously, this is information that was revealed during a cyber-terrorist attack, and there is this debate about whether it is morally appropriate for journalists to report on it, and then those of us who are sharing and engaging are also culpable, but also - also there is information in here that could make changes that could be really good for the treatment of non-white non-men in Hollywood and in media and so I can't quite bring myself to feel fully condemning.
It's like Anonymous - sort of evil and unchecked and questionable and making things worse but also sort of doing things the evil and vindictive part of me wishes would happen.
