Thank you for your kindness and I am sorry I am late getting back to you on this one. I had to deal with your findings with my other channel members and wanted to get back to you asap after our meeting. Question: Columbia is not Sony. Is there any way to tell if Sony owns this as they claim in my screen shot?

Thanks again for your help, VC. :)

Columbia Pictures has been owned by the Sony Corporation for just over 20 years. Sony brought the company in 1989. In 1991, the parent company "Columbia Pictures Entertainment" formally changed it's name to "Sony Pictures Entertainment".

Says in her best Johnny Carson voice, "I did not know that."
Thanks, VC :)
