I get the distinct impression that Obama's response to Sony wasn't for domestic consumption so much as foreign consumption. The US tells the rest of the world not to cave in to terrorist demands and then US businesses cave. A double standard undermines the President's effectiveness globally on that point if he doesn't come down hard on un-American business practices by showing the same willingness to intervene that he shows politically with global leaders.
The FBI's jurisdiction is limited to reporting the criminal activity, the hacking. Do we want that expanded to them opening files on American citizens and reporting lawful political incorrectness like not showing some movies in theaters? We might need a Congressional oversight committee on un-American activities to keep track of it all.
