as the latest high profile talks between the two as strange nations they're down to truly tried and failed past. voting on a controversial online and feeding bill is due this summer aimed at fighting internet piracy in today's artie's interview tom barton speaks to break founder of the swedish pirate party he says internet freedom isn't something governments should take lightly. internet freedom is a subject very much in the headlines these days and synonymous with internet freedom increasingly is the word pirate it started with piracy and the idea that information on the internet could be copied and passed along sometimes without copyright but the issues involved with the reaction to this and governments trying to pass legislation to try and restrict access to the internet to do with piracy

have caused a lot of controversy and pirate parties have sprung up to try and promote the rights of internet freedom we are lucky enough to have with us the founder of the original pirate party here in sweden rick. thank you for joining us well thank you for having me on the show appreciate it ok just recently we've been conveniently provided with three examples with a significant defeat it seems for the pirate movement a success and a future battle our start with bad news the defeat another name including pirate pirate bay here in sweden large fines prison sentences how do you feel about that result i think it's absolutely horrible i think there was an excellent example of how the establishment. takes its own privileges and then the status quo of the incumbent industries ahead of laws government cares for itself

first and then for citizens if you look at previous new political movements i mean you had the liberal movement which came under twenty years ago you had to the social democrat the labor movement which came about eighty years ago you had the green movement coming about forty years ago all of them challenged the establishment and the status quo to the point where the activists frankly went to jail and in history we regard those that went to jail as heroes so it's a shame but perhaps being cynical that's the way it goes and these people will be heroes to in the history books there is another side there are people who say look how much material went through that site and how much of it should have some rights money going to the people who made it and they didn't get to them i think that's an interesting argument. what you're essentially asking me is interpretation of the

law and i didn't become a lawyer but a politician because i think the law is wrong and i want to change it so looking at the income for musicians since the advent of napster in the file sharing era we find that the average income for musicians have risen one hundred fourteen percent in the past ten years the average income per musician has risen sixty six percent and twenty eight more percent get some sort of the share war is true is that the parasitic middlemen who are if i'm going to be a bit derogatory here who are in the. class piece of plastic construction industry. have seen their record sales just go through the floor and that's excellent for artists since these are a link in the value chain used to take ninety five percent of the cut and artists have found out how to circumvent them so much more monitors to the artists however

this particular link sits on all the lobbying power and all that most of the legislation power so these parasitic middlemen are trying to legislate their place in the market which from an entrepreneurial perspective is just a market stick and outrageous from from a solidarity perspective it's outrageous because it's corporate corporatist repression so if you're looking at. if you caring for artists then you certainly should not look at the record industry which have done there at the most since their inception to rob artists of the money i see your target here and i see that the way it's a it's a well framed argument and i think it has an obviously gained a lot of traction with the person sitting at their computer who downloads. for example that they know they're not paying for. this nation

with none whatsoever i mean the issue here is if you're running a business then it's your responsibility to find a business model within the current constraints of society that allows you to make money you don't get to dismantle civil liberties even if you can't make money or perhaps even especially if you can't make money. a person corporations profitability does not factor into the freedom of speach. so yes the pirate might have done something illegal i don't think they did but then again i'm not a lawyer in any case absolutely adamant that what they did was beneficial to society and to artistry and so it should not be illegal under any circumstance well i think you're not alone in that opinion because we'll go on now to the victory has been

a victory for the pirate movement and not just the party movement in america. paper have really mattered i think unexpected amount of resistance do you think that this is perhaps a slap in the face to media companies that perhaps felt that they could steamroller the process i think it's tremendously important i mean you have two hundred fifty million europeans sharing culture in violation of this old copyright distribution monopoly to them it's arrogant beyond description a corporate structure takes the right to determine what they can say to other citizens we have a generation that's grown up learning that they can say whatever to whomever on the planet and just let the ideas battle it out for themselves we have this perfect enlightenment era deals where it's really a battle of ideas doesn't matter who says them all of

a sudden corporations want to take that away and. it's not enough to say that the junk younger generation perceive that perceives this as incredibly offensive. so so people i think that was the first case where the general population really woke up through realizing that well we have been saying all along isn't crying we're actually warning for some for a very real danger out there and what we saw was nearly a year literally of people rising up and demanding their rights and i think there was a beautiful thing and these trade representatives used to working in the shade working in the dark just agreeing in backroom deals kind of level of freedom of speech which we should have just taken they were just taken by surprise and again you have this element that politicians started to fear for their jobs

if that hadn't happened so people would already have passed but politicians sort of saw the floor crumble beneath their feet because they started to realize that same same as here in europe two hundred fifty million europeans sharing culture that's not a problem with a couple of teenagers that's half the voting population and if you want to keep your job you can't call them criminal public interests or nice point to move on to your coming battle or perhaps it's too late with the counterfeiting trade agreement actor was recently signed by the e.u. member states it's been watered down a lot since the beginning is it really so dangerous people have woken up these rallies are huge i mean if you look at poland there the rallies that have already been are absolutely astounding and people are frankly demanding their rights back and means censorship of the net and that is not acceptable not to the generation

growing up not of the people who understand what the news is about and that it's the greatest equalizer of mankind has ever invented and that's not something we are ready to give up frankly we. we're discovering things that just shouldn't be the european commission went out the other side the other day is there that this is no big deal everybody will be free to keep us to sharing governmentally approved things and that's not what they should be saying they should say that you can still have freedom of speech not freedom of speech for what we approve of look into your crystal ball of digital crystal ball for us and look towards the future ten twenty maybe even fifty years in the future do you see an internet that is free and open and equal or do you see dark clouds ahead i think we're at a crossroads right now this technology can be used to create such

a distant topik big brother society that if you'd written a book about it in the fifties or even the eighty's it would have been discarded as plain unrealistic i mean you have you have police troll jance now that are planted on suspect computers even non-suspect computers to see for the police to see what they are doing these trojans have access to the microphones and cameras on the computers so that. we are we are now at this stage this dystopic scene of the one nine hundred fifty s. where there were cameras in people's homes the only thing missing from the scenario was that we bought them ourselves there was the one thing where there wasn't foreseen on the other hand you can also use this technology to create a society where power holders are more accountable than ever to the vertical citizenry you can create a society where ideas get to battle it out without interference from who said what

and what's their background you can create a society where culture can flourish like never before and ideas can flourish like never before and that stands right now and the question is who controls the internet. i wanted to be the citizens there are people who wanted to be a previous set of industries and if they won if they win we get a big brother society if the citizens when we get a democracy richer than any before has to talk thank you very much thank you. some fame lies beneath.

thousands of meters of costs to rock. the lovers. that is a lure for many. but dangerous even to those who keep it at a distance. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so for lengthly you think you understand it and then you've lived something else and you hear or see some other part of it and realized everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm sorry welcome to the big picture . there hasn't been anything good on t.v. . it is to get the maximum political impact.

seeds of a good on the clock. will start though with our psyches we go in cup finals where our own god now have the advantage over the nama after a narrow one nil win a victory given the siberian side that see one seriously and the best of seven contests with more is constant thing for top. with seven minutes to go in the opening period i one guards around manchurian co-founder alexander there is your game in the right circle with a well timed pass who is shot he's sent on the goal of the campaign in our book the visitors and the pressure in the second launching attacks one out to another not giving the visitors a chance to catch their breath but rhyme assume an ins man managed to withstand and responded with a counterattack. to see so game continued in the final frame with chances for both sides while the hosts failed to level matters using any of their eight ball plays and the reason for that was our armed guards. who was brilliant between the boids
