been made at the airport. "the new york times" reports on a new copyright class action lawsuit against the music streaming service spotify. david larry who led beethoven and cracker is seeking $150 million in damages. the suit claims spotified streamed songs without the necessary rights. the fugitive texas teen known for the so-called affluenza defense is expected to return to the u.s. from mexico today. ethan couch and his mother tonya were arrested at a puerto vallarta apartment complex. the pair on the run for about

omar villafranca is a $350 a night apartment in a more discrete location. tarrant county officials say ethan couch had sort of a going away party before fleeing town with his mother tonya. during the three-week. >> christmas eve is about the time that i think that the really kind of concrete information came in. the problem with it was, as you can imagine, puerto vallarta christmastime a tremendous amount of tourists. >> reporter: their search eventually led mexican authorities helping with the investigation to this puerto vallarta apartment complex. according to reports, couch and his mother moved here after first staying at a resort. a picture taken shortly after couch's arrest reveals that he had dyed his blond hair black.

couch's attorney said we have not had the opportunity to speak with our client. couch disappeared earlier this month, shortly after this video was posted to twitter. it appears to show him at a party with drinking, possibly violating his ten-year probation. in 2013 when couch was 16, he killed four people and paralyzed another in a drunk driving crash. during the trial, his defense argued that he suffered from affluenza, a controversial condition of his privileged wealthy upbringing that failed to teach him responsibility. todd clement is an important representing the victims' families. >> no question that ethan couch was raised in a way where he was taught to avoid responsibility, that he was taught the rules don't apply to him and his family. i think now we seeing they do apply. >> reporter: couch will likely be placed in a juvenile detention facility until he turns 19 in april.

set to move his case over into adult court. as for tonya couch, she faces a third-degree felony charge for helping him escape and that carries a sentence up to ten years in prison. let's bring in cbs news legal analyst rikki klieman. let's talk about the notion of the adult system and whether he is going to be moved. first of all, do you think he is going to be moved to the adult system and what happens if he is? >> well, first of all, everyone seems to think that because this is a, quote/unquote, bad boy, that he is going to be brought back to this country having fled to mexico and the book is going to be thrown at him and he is going into prison for a long time. the answer to that is wrong. and we have to go back, jeff, before i get to adult status. as a juvenile, the purpose of the system is to protect the child. it isn't to rehabilitate the child. the adult system is to punish. so what is going to happen? he is going to be brought back.

jail. that's it. then the government wants to transfer him to be an adult, because that is going to adult status. why? not because they can get him any more prison time, but they can, they believe, get him ten years probation or the reminder of what is left which is eight years and put him on probation to 2024. so if he then breaks the law or he then violates his probation, then he is going in. government is saying four deaths? we are going to look consecutive and look for 40 years if he does another bad thing. >> yet, the mormther faces a third-degree felony charge. >> the mother may do more time than the son. the mother is facing third-degree felony charge two to ten years because she hindered the government from getting her son by taking him off to mexico. you have to remember consistency here, margaret and jeff.

they argued through the defense that this was the parent's fault, this permissive household and world of affluenza and why the parent should be responsible. i'll say an end of the year observation that i think we ought to look at. this is a story of a rich white boy who got a break, is too kind of a word, when he, by virtue of, quote/unquote, affluenza got probation. if he were a young man of color, you would not see that happen. that's why people get upset with the system. >> rikki klieman, thank you. political tall tales reached new heights this year. ahead a look at some of the xajs trail. if you're heading out to work, "cbs this morning" this morning. you don't want to miss seth korea.

phil! oh no... (under his breath) hey man! hey peter. (unenthusiastic) oh... ha ha ha! joanne? is that you? it's me... you don't look a day over 70. am i right? jingle jingle. if you're peter pan, you stay young forever. it's what you do. if you want to save fifteen percent or more on car insurance, you switch to geico. you make me feel so young... it's what you do. you make me feel so spring has sprung.

except that managing my symptoms was all i was doing. and when i finally told my doctor, he said humira is for adults like me who have tried other medications but still experience the symptoms of moderate to severe crohn's disease. and that in clinical studies, the majority of patients on humira saw significant symptom relief. and many achieved remission. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. ask your gastroenterologist about humira. with humira, remission is possible.

those commercials in iowa, new hampshire and south carolina would be the republican front-runner's first major ad campaign. at a rally in iowa last night, trump sharpened his attacks on hillary clinton. >> madam president, can you imagine? oh, oh. believe me, women, if it's got to be a woman, which i'm all in favor of someday, it shouldn't be hillary. >> clinton did not mention trump by name at a rally in new hampshire. she argued the economy does better when a democrat is president. she also got a question about equal pay for women. it came from a young boy whose mother is a teacher and father is an engineer. >> i think my mother has been working much harder -- is working more harder than my father and she deserves to have more money. get more money than my father.

i think that we still have problems, and if you deny those problems, you are denying the fastest way to increase incomes in america, and that is to make sure women are paid what they deserve in the jobs that they do. >> the former secretary of state was also asked if she would serve in another democratic cabinet. she said let's not put any carts before any horses. any kids in california who received hover boards for christmas have two days left to ride them. they will be outlawed for anyone under 16 on new year's day under a new state law. all outdoor riders will have to use helmets and use bike lanes as well. they can go no faster than 15 miles an hour. videos of hover board injuries are still spreading very fast on social media. one of them knocked down former heavyweight champion mike tyson, who squealed after falling down.

>> a new netflix series raises questions about a high-profile wisconsin murder case like the podcast serial and hbo's "the jinx." making a murderer has reignited interest in a crime that vanished from the public spotlight. michelle miller shows us why many are wondering if an innocent man was framed twice. >> good morning. "making a murderer" focuses on steve avery who has a lengthy rap sheet but spent 18 years in prison for a rape he didn't commit. he was finally exonerated in 2003 by dna evidence. just two years later, avery was back behind bars, this time accused of murder. >> you know, we're all victims. they just won't leave us alone.

>> when it became clear he was the suspect in teresa halbach's death, steve avery claimed he was being set up. >> so you're telling me somebody planted the body? >> i didn't do it. >> who did it? >> i don't know. >> halbach's car with avery's blood in it was discovered in the avery family salvage yard. the 25-year-old's cremated remains were just steps away from his trailer. avery's teen age nephew, -- brendan dassey confessed to being an accomplice. >> who shot her in the head? >> he did. >> why didn't you tell us that? >> i didn't think of it. >> avery says police manipulated a frightened boy with a learning disability. he later recanted to his mother. >> did you? huh?

>> what do you mean not really? >> do that. >> halbach was raped and murdered in 2005, one year after avery filed a $36 million civil lawsuit for his wrongful conviction. that suit had embarrassed several law enforcement officials in manitowoc county. two officers from that case also worked the halbach investigation and helped find her car keys inside avery's bedroom. >> i'm at the avery salvage. >> investigators were on the salvage yard for eight days looking for clues. >> i didn't see them plant evidence with my own two eyes. i didn't see it. do i understand how human beings might be tempted to plant evidence? i don't have any difficulty understanding those human emotions at all. >> avery was convicted in 2007 for the halbach murder and sentenced to life in prison.

spent ten years on "making a murderer." >> we were very thorough and in our opinion very accurate and very fair. >> district attorney ken kratz told "cbs this morning" the netflix series leaves out key dna and other evidence, including cell phone records showing avery lured halbach to the salvage yard. kratz said the suggestion investigators framed avery was, quote, irresponsible and inconsistent with the consideration of all the evidence presented. the filmmakers say their goal is to document avery's case as it unfolded in its entirety. >> our question going in was never about guilt or innocence or about trying to solve this crime. it was really an exploration into the system. >> and teresa halbach's family did not respond to our request for comment. before the series was released, they issued a statement saying

were creating entertainment and trying to profit from their loss. we also reached out to other police and prosecutors mentioned in "making a murderer." they either did not respond or declined to give interviews to "cbs this morning." >> thanks, michelle. >> thank you. one of the most secretive countries in the world invited us in for a visit, but within some very strict limits. >> is this the last trip? >> the last trip we interview people, we can't come to north korea. >> seth doane learns the north korean definition of press freedom but still gets insight into the so-called hermit kingdom. that's ahead on "cbs this morning."a complete, anway to support... ...your energy... ...immunity... and metabolism like never before. centrum multigummies. see gummies in a whole new light. everyone needs a bff. even your smile. colgate optic white toothpaste

and leading the world. i will get up every single day and do whatever it takes to make sure our country is safe and strong. i'm hillary clinton and i approve this message. north korea, this morning, introduced the official in charge of relations with south korea was killed in a traffic accident. state media gave no details of what happened. another sign of the country's secrecy. leader kim jung un. earlier this year north korea did allow journalists inside the reclusive nation. our seth doane was among them.

north korea is equal parts fascinating and frustrating. there is no doubt they are masters at putting on a show. this is saber rattling on a very grand scale. but it's hard to know what is performance and what is real. north korea's government granted permission for us to visit this fall. we were bussed around like tourists. we cannot choose where we will go. we are brought to different places. today, we are being brought to the birth place of kim ilsun. he is the grandfather of kim jong-un jong-un. this secretive state. they took us deep down into a metro station. even here, it was hard to know what was staged.

clarity, especially with a government assigned minder controlling with whom we could speak. how about this lady here? we haven't asked. can we ask? still it was clear just how deeply the government touches its people. why do you want to wear kim il song? do you wear that pin every day? nrs this >> translator: this isn't get off even one hour. >> reporter: we were granted access to this secretive country but like we were ushered around a city and shown seats to a show. there were actual performances which demonstrated the softer side of this nuclear armed state. unbelievably the government took us to a doff fin performance. here the aim couldn't possibly have been to wow us with the tricks these marine mammals could do.

the stands. seemingly happy and apparently middle class north koreans. so can we talk to some people? wait. i just want to talk to some of the people who came. >> no. no time. >> reporter: we don't have time? we tried again outside. how did you like the show? until our minder lost his patience. >> we have to go. if you want this to be your last trip, do you it. >> reporter: last trip? meaning if we interview people, we can't come to north korea? >> you can't come. >> reporter: this military parade was the focal point of our visit and it's what the wanted us foreign journalists to broadcast home, a strong north korea. one of the things that you can't quite appreciate when you see this on television is with all of this goose stepping while you're standing here, the ground is shaking. but what struck us even more than the military might were the faces of those everyday people looking up at their leader kim

could that possibly be an act? afterwards, we asked parade goer kim sue ha about the anti-american rhetoric we have seen and heard here. i'm an american, what do you think about that? i didn't know you were american, but it's quite surprising, she giggled, you're not as evil as what i've read about in books. there it was. a glimpse of something authentic. a sense that so much could be accomplished if we could only communicate for real. for "cbs this morning," i'm seth doane in pyongyang, north korea. >> so interesting to watch. >> seth did a good job. >> he did. can we talk to that person? no, they don't want to talk. i haven't asked her yet. >> at a dolphin show. you're not as evil as i thought you'd be. recent tornadoes ripped away pets from their owners. we will show you the emotional

locally produced items. suzanne vranica, thank you for being here. >> thank you for having me. >> reporter: the mast brothers acknowledge they use some remelted chocolate and say they never labeled those beans to bar but we said this is part of a bigger issue. >> absolutely. it seems like every couple of weeks another company is getting hauled into the social media sphere and everybody is attacking them because guess what. some of their marketing is not holding up to the product. all of those back to the changes that we are seeing in consumers eating habits, right? everybody is looking to be healthier. they are looking for simple source and they are looking for gmo-free products. and so companies are responding because people are abandoning products that aren't healthy so what do you do? you have to sort of use marketing techniques and different words. clearly they are trying to make better products in many cases but, a lot of times this is simple marketing. when it is marketing and it falls through, that is when you're in trouble from a company's perspective. >> the people are looking for

saying like any other business? >> it's business and companies are driven by profit margins and shareholder value. it's in conflict to what goes to making this stuff. >> why would somebody be willing to spend 9 dollars a bar? >> they think it's better. clearly, because it's made a different way. if you really want to spend $9 it depends on your taste. if it tastes better to you, then you should buy $9th.. today you have all of the tools necessary to figure out what is really in it. it's really up to the consumer. you shouldn't be believing advertising to begin with. do your homework. go to website and clearly they can lie but nine times out of ten these things are going to flare up and come back and bite them. >> you still have to do research when people say organic is it usda or nongmo?

>> that video is great. when you about what is going on here you take it back to the natural craze. we saw that the last couple of years. natural was on every product and government agencies had to get involved. right now, the fda still doesn't have an official meaning on the word natural so companies can slap it on. it's sort of a loose definition they have, no artificial or synthetics substances. but they actually are opening up for review and they are asking the public to comment so maybe they will come out with something stronger that companies can abide by. i think 40 billion dollar food business that uses the word natural and a huge business. it doesn't mean it can be interpreted by different companies in a different way. very few people out there checking up on this, right? there is not a whole task force looking at advertising every day. >> it's not just the word. it's the colors and the labeling the way they do it put trees and leaves on it and make it look -- it looks green and you just automatically think it's better, right? >> people just want to buy in.

imagery and advertising is always going to be around and they get clever at it. today it's artisanal. >> mcdonald's has an artisinal chicken sandwich. >> i think people think it means -- >> right, handmade but lots of wiggle room because nobody has defined it at least from the fda's perspective. companies have a lot of wiggle room. if you want to spend the extra buck then you need to do your homework and sometimes it's not very clear so you have to wait for somebody to do a big expo say on a company. seeing this in suburban category. lots of companies are removing the word natural from their products because there was a rash of consumer lawsuits against them. so it will take time and, guess what. two weeks from now a new word we will be talking about and a new marketing technique we will be talking about and get us to pay more. >> in the meantime, i'm looking

>> margaret wants a chicken sandwich right now. >> i just want the chocolate version. suzanne, thank you. hollywood's newest "it" girl found her spot on the movie set. >> i'm able to call what i call my passion my job. >> reporter: which is pretty special. >> very special. >> anthony mason finds out how metinka: another round of light snow through central iowa. it will be out of here by noon, leaving behind one inch to 1.5 inches of powder. the careful on the roads. 26 degrees. the wind chill will be in the teens. bundle up. colder air will arrive tomorrow

>> i love to be on stage, but sometimes i question it. i can't do this. and you need to want it so bad that you don't even question any of it. >> reporter: she left ballet school after she won a part in a swedish tv drama. >> then i suddenly felt that passion that i had been almost jealous of that some of other girls had. suddenly, with fear, i could read a script from 2:00 a.m. and not able to go to bed at night and i'm able to call what i find my passion, my job. >> reporter: which is pretty special. >> very special. >> reporter: in "the danish girl" her character has to wrestle with loving her husband, at the same time, she is losing him as einar becomes lily. >> i need to see einar. >> that be me. >> i mean, my husband. can you get him?

films. maybe you should see a doctor. >> reporter: what is the most thrilling part of acting in film for you? >> if you come on set and you feel like you believe in this film and it's something that you care about, everyone does their best and that kind of team work is something that i love that creation that you do with all of the people. >> reporter: as much as you aspire to with every film, you just can't guarantee it? >> no. that is why it's also so special when you feel it because i think you long for that feeling. >> reporter: including the bourne sequel, she will star in another four films set for release in 2016 which is why a cover story in the january issue of "vogue" calls it "the year of alicia vik anner." >> she was great. >> she is great in almost everything i've seen her in and especially extraordinary for a foreign actress. >> right.
