This BGR headline is ridiculous. The reason Apple started streaming The Interview[archived], is because they decided not to give all the distribution cut of the money from the film to Xbox Video (where I bought it) and Google Play.

It was probably some legal/political negotiation point with Sony that delayed it… or simply Apple’s internal holiday logistical delays.
