it would be soo much crisis if you knew all about sam from plans to crash you see. these stocks on t.v. dot com. you're watching r t the main stories we're covering for you this hour syria's under pressure president vows to fight for iraq to share and keep up with foreigners the u.n. security council is debating a draft resolution by the u.s. in ma r.t. travels to the ancient city where support for the regime is unwavering despite the nationwide protests. global powers agree on new talks with iran over its nuclear program after tehran says inspectors are welcome to visit its military sites the

move comes amid a first recommendation of a preemptive military strike by israel against iran's nuclear sites and. understand the overwhelming support of russians putting their fruit in front coming return to the kremlin is grating on some past and politicians u.k.'s former top diplomats has called him a dictator it's days are numbered. i want some governments have been taking cyber threats extremely seriously pushing for the wars in iraq and criminal charges for offenders and that's in there were over the world where the head of the u.k. pirate party these are free were actually helps promote the internet and the knitting it is not the solution. joining me is laws leader of the pirate party in the u.k. laws thanks big to r.t. now you've been a prominent voice in the protests here against the act but why do you oppose it surely will be thought copyright infringement to start with the act treaty has

become just another lightning rod for people's dissatisfaction and public anger about attempts to crack down on the internet it's we've seen that recently recently for example in the united states with the soap a bill. cost and a huge outcry because the sentient with draconian anti internet legislation when it comes to talking about copyright infringement and intellectual property more broadly one of the things the entertainment industry would have us believe that there is some kind of crime crisis of piracy well there is no crisis the truth of it is that in the united states more music was sold ever before in the last year here in the united kingdom bucks office receipts hit the billion pound

mark for the first time so there is no crisis but surely something needs to be done is surely. downloading music and videos for free is unlikely right infringement royalties go to the artist or one of the one of the things that's really interesting is that we're seeing how the free web is in fact pushing growth for artists but we're seeing that the growth in music sells is being pushed by digital and it's being pushed by the fact that there is free and open functioning one ip now what we have to realise is that copyrights a kind of law that's made for an entirely different set of circumstances it's really not that controversial to see. she is no longer fit for purpose in the digital age but isn't it the entertainment industry lobbying for that surely artists are on the music's being pirated don't people think of it

one of the things that's really interesting is that the industry body is fairly narrow group of lobbyists has made this nice trick of saying that they represent artists really they represent no one else other than their own narrow interests and actually trying to preserve business models that are frankly out of date it's one of the real problems for artists this is actually trying to create a trick to respond to the new environment so something like streaming services for example now but probably the problem is because of copyright turns the the launch music audience actually control basically the entire history record recorded popular music well this is in no way healthy it means that it's actually very difficult to set up a new innovative service is what we're really concerned about one of the things an

actor was do is actually make this more difficult because of the wording is so very in it but it means it means that actually it's going to be very hard to do proper due diligence legally setting up a new service it's going to make it very difficult to find the next you tube the next flip or the next facebook these are the kind of things that are that our politicians are constantly praising in terms of being brilliant growth and innovation and heaven knows we need that in europe right now but actually this is going to be made more difficult and there are going to be fewer opportunity for artists do you not agree that intellectual property on the internet need regulation and protection. what we're saying in the pirate party is it's agreements like that i've got it completely the wrong way round at the moment this this rush to

more draconian force meant it's actually creating credit poisonous atmosphere and what instead what we need to do is that we need to have an honest open debate and say how should this look right now how do we rebalance the interests of artists consumers and the wider economy we need to be having that debate but also needs to happen in an open honest way the problem is that the lobbyists have been controlling the game and doing things behind closed doors actually responsible for drawing up the green and place one of the interesting things about that is that it's actually very hard to see who is responsible for it and that's one of the things that we've been objecting to all along there are lists of people who have been at meetings and groups who have been party to meetings. but

we can't know where they were arguing for or against or were just there to drink the coffee this is been symptomatic of the entire process because so much incident happened behind closed doors the e.u. was supposedly involved in drawing up of act given that a key member state germany is now stalling on signing the agreement what does that say about the negotiations i think what's shown and what's constantly come up is that the comments from governments have been actually where we now have serious new misgivings because actually once we're being being really looking at the details but actually where is concerned is our citizens are i think this also to think about seems extraordinary that even parliaments. i have felt that they've been left out of the loop and this is a serious failing in terms of the democratic debate is ratified and goes

to. countries like china and russia are part of one of the reasons why this treaty is in fact not really worth the paper it's written on it's because russia china india and brazil are not part of the agreement and haven't been party to the negotiations it's simply not credible to have any agreement which is supposedly trained are not to have china or russia in it's simply no longer acceptable for western governments to negotiate a significant international agreement and just expect the rest of the world to to join in a century like it all lump it in particular as it has huge implications for the developing world whose responsibility is it to regulate the internet because actors seem to imply that it's everyone's uses what we've seen is that there is a narrative at the moment something that president sarkozy's very fond of

describing the internet as the wild west was mislike this territory that needs to be civil law is what's happening the moment is credit. unpleasant it is beginning to rage and also frankly a lot of people are very angry and it feels like the internet is under siege we've seen all sorts of different types of legislation and and treaties like act which essentially have the have the potential to trample people's fundamental rights to expression a little anger there from a person seems to be simply the. there will be a download music and films for free now what gives them the right to do that in the first place it's a fundamental mistake to saying that this extraordinary wave of protests right across europe is just about wanting free stuff that is to fundamentally

understand the nature of the protests the moment it's not about free stuff it's about free people and free expression that's what's driving people out onto the streets because we're constantly told by governments when it suits them how important the internet it's for example look how quick western governments of brains appraise the use of social media in the arab spring but suddenly when it comes to home territory they don't seem to be like a like to be challenged now what we've always been saying that the pirate party is that what it is it's not simply about that it's about culture and this particular arena it's about saying what are the tools that we're giving to go our governments that's what we need to be concerned about we are giving our governments tools to censor the internet so however good intentions may be from some people

these are simply not tools that we should be handing to our governments and that is what the anger is about that's what britain that's what's bringing people out on the streets in the hundreds of thousands across europe why is eastern europe in particular the hotbed for these protests it's going very striking that balance and particularly central eastern europe have been. leading the way in europe on the issue of actor and i think it's particularly this is. the people of central and eastern europe have experienced what it means. have your freedom of expression taken from them. to their credit the people most people are saying if there is a danger if there is a potential to be a threat to land. to stand up and i think it's been very inspiring but also seen is a real change in how politics are working in the twenty first century that it's no

longer western europe that necessarily leads all the time but also eastern europe can show the way that also we can learn and we should be ready to. do you think the protesters are harming their own cause here by aligning themselves with groups such as anonymous of induction a number of illegal acts. one of one of the things is about the movement against actor is incredibly broad but so it takes in political takes and political groups it takes in and i believe even now here in the united kingdom we're seeing parties even like the united kingdom independence party who are you're a skeptic party beginning to speak out against that so there's a wide range of a wide range of people i don't think anyone said there is some kind of formal alliance when you start to push for draconian legislation people will

push back and particularly feels that there is no proper democratic outlands then people do will grasp for direct action it's vital that we start listening to voices on the internet freedom and see the real grass roots otherwise simply people will be alienated and that's hugely dangerous. frankly. culture is the same ocean going to use music to share the power of mining in the market as in the case of wag the dog this is how some would characterize the current drumbeat for war against iran at the center of this campaign is the american.
