As a hypothetical, if you started a one-person side project, or freelanced or something, would you feel it equally appropriate for your work emails to be published, in bulk, unredacted, without your permission or consent, by people who hacked into your computers?

Would it be appropriate for all YC funded companies to have all of their emails published on WikiLeaks tomorrow?

If not, what's the difference, and where do you draw the line?

I'd willingly make that sacrifice if the emails of the corrupt in power were also published.

Who exactly at Sony has been "corrupt in power"?

The one that managed the FBI to give them a cover story with the whole "North Korea" stuff might be a good start.

If your YC funded company engaged in illegal activities, why not?

What exactly was Sony doing illegally that this leak apparently exposed?

    "If you give me six lines written by the hand of the most honest of men, 
    I will find something in them which will hang him."
Sony Pictures is the American subsidiary of a multinational corporation - merely by virtue of their size and power, they have to be guilty of something.

The reason for the link is _right_ there in the intro, assuming you clicked the link.

Sony has been engaged in some questionable activity with questionable organizations making questionable deals. The reason is transparency so illegal activity can be exposed.
