      Sony made a mistake in responding to "intimidation" by pulling the plug on The Interview, a satire film on Kim Jong-Un featuring Seth Rogen and James Franco, U.S. president Barack Obama said at his end of year press conference in Washington on Friday.

      Addressing the recent Sony hacking scandal, Obama said America should never engage in "self-censorship" even when liabilities may intimidate private companies such as Sony.
