Sony's salary leak has caused an immense amount of chaos in negotiating contracts with stars and suits, it has been reported.

Sources revealed that some executives are furious at the bonus structure they got, because they believed they were top of the heap when they weren't, TMZ.com reported.

Some contracts have already come up for renewal and Sony has been getting nailed to the wall, sources further added.

Same principle applies to movie and TV stars, who now have comps to use against the studio.

They feel totally comfortable using the salary comparisons, but one Sony executive thinks it' shameful for representatives to use stolen information in negotiations.
