I doubt they will pay. Why pay? Its going to get pirated anyways. If these guys were real pirates they would have released it already.

"but said Disney had refused to pay and was working with federal investigators."

Also "the extortionists threatened to release five minutes of the film and then 20-minute chunks unless a sizeable ransom was paid"

It should make for an interesting announcement from trumps administration in the next coming days of said hacking tools from the group who are using those very same tactics in extorting from disney now. Roll Eyes
