good to have you with. headlines for this hour two years behind bars for the russian punk band pussy riot. less than they would have received. in the u.s. the occupy protesters taken to a new level of demonstrators. demanding the release of. even with. nato troops still on the enemy's homemade explosives. are those are the headlines are next so we talk to apple co-founder

steve wozniak about how your personal and private rights are all up for grabs on the worldwide internet. as co-founder of one of the largest companies in the world do you think that you have a responsibility to speak out about issues like internet regulation i don't think anyone comes with a responsibility just because their company is really big especially since i'm not the one who wanted to run a company just be a great engineer that helped start it so i don't feel that anybody has a responsibility however i do like it when well known people that are in the public eye speak out on social issues and give their opinion what do think about legislation like so and people and why you think that they are so unpopular it turns out that the the internet when it first came it was a breath of fresh air it was so free nobody owned the internet space countries didn't own it they didn't control it it was worldwide it was people to people it

was like we little people the world all of a sudden had this incredible resource and we didn't have to go through other people selling it to us and delivering it to us that has changed a lot but still those were items that were kind of against just being able to use the wires to send whatever you thought of to somebody else who's a friend or whatever sharing sharing data so a lot of people have done that sort of thing they have freely shared a song maybe a song with son or maybe they've shared another file with another good friend and they just don't want interference now sure it's illegal to share copyrighted material fine there are laws in place but these were new laws that we're going to just totally try to put up roadblocks to services that have other very good purposes in our life for example i might make a promotional video for an interview like this and then i'll e-mail it to you well it's too big to email so i'll upload it to a little site maybe it's dropbox maybe it's my apple ideas maybe it's make upload all upload to a site and send you the u.r.l.

and now you can download it and i do that regularly i heard you previously talking about kim dotcom this case. and you you mentioned that the charges against him or pretty much full. money and a lottery more on what you meant by that yes first of all he ran one of the largest file sharing services in the world so the most movies and all were being exchanged by people through that site it's not a site where you could connect to it and say search for avatar there was no searching somebody could upload a file and then pass out a u.r.l. on their own and they're violating the law if it's copyright material like a movie and the person who downloads it is violating a law too but the what kim dot com rant is just a service that's like a post office he was the post office that was being mailed through whining shut down the post office thinking that's where the problem is it's not so that was a phony charge they tried to charge him with a copyright violation himself for uploading sixty songs or something but they had come off of c.d.'s he had purchased so they say it was all these attempts that i

call phony then they had to figure out a way to extradite him they needed a crime that would get him five years in prison to meet the law the new zealand law for extradition so they made up phony charges of racketeering like he's some big mobster connecting you know a big financial empire and all these countries i mean apple does that but kim dotcom is just so nice soft little sweet guy when you meet him who tells the truth openly you know that you know when somebody is being truthful when you're with them personally and he doesn't hide things he doesn't share he doesn't have concocted lines to tell he's not a. racketeer there's a they charge him with mail fraud because he said i deleted some files and what he had done was delete the links to them it's like if you have a computer and you take a file and you throw in the trash the file is still on your hard disk it didn't really get a raised the link is gone you can't find it any more by that link so that's a phony charge he really had gotten rid of the one part you could get rid of to make it look as though it was deleted the phony charges just indicate that they're

going to they're doing everything they can to make the public think they have the prosecutors are in the right you know but you don't do phony things when you're in the right you have an open and shut case. they're having they're having to go be on the bounds of what's what's right to try to convict him what kind of precedent do you think this is that's for just government overstepping i've read a lot about how they confiscated his data files actually took him to the united states and they didn't have the right to do that it's it's the trouble is we developed what sort of rights you have to have against accusers meaning the police and the prosecutors they are the accusers presumption of innocence means the burden of proof is on the accuser they have to prove things you have the right to be notified what you're being charged of you have a right to you know a lot of different rights that make sure you're being treated fairly and prosecutors and governments have found every way they can to get around those rights and that's what bothers me is that you know if they want to convict you of something you didn't do they have an awful lot of techniques to do it

a lot of ways to do it and you founded the electronic frontier foundation to protect free speech should the principle of the first amendment be protected with something like wiki leaks free speech is not absolute in my mind it's a very important right it has to go through considerations of did you violate it in ways that might be hurt somebody else some free speech could actually trigger harmful events could trigger even murders so it does murdering an abortion doctor count as free speech no there are limits to free speech i don't know in the case of wiki leaks. i don't know where that's going to fall out so i think there are limitations in terms of kind of opening or protecting all free speech online and the war on whistleblowers all free speech online i was brought up with the belief that the first amendment was such a good thing every every one of our bill of rights in the united states was so crucial to my heart the way my dad taught me but free speech meant you could say

something bad about the president even you could say something bad about your government you have that right and we were taught you don't have that right in communist russia so i believe in that right very strongly as far as as as far. wiki leaks you know i wish i knew more about the whole case for on the surface it sounds to me like something that's that's good the whistleblower blew the truth the people found out what they the people have paid for you know and the government has no no that people should not know what they paid for growing up in a generation where you've seen the internet perforate into something it's so massive and where political and social movements are birthed online now what do you think just about the evolution of the internet and how you know apple has really played a role in expanding that people you know when we started the company i would go back to that point did we have a vision of computers being prolific in everybody's hands throughout society yes did we have the idea that it would lead to you know the incredible connection that the internet would come onboard the broadband would come on board for almost

everyone who wants it and that that would lead to all these you know basically the way we live life in the way we do things put everything political everything social the way we do things with other people it's all done with your computer on the internet with your i phones with your mobile devices now and it's a totally different world than it was when will we have powerful computers but they weren't a part of your life as much as now and i'm just as happy as everyone else to see it having turned out this way how do you see it going you think that it will still continue or do you think it will see kind of. curve i mean what the political and social movements now where everything's integrated everything's being homogenized in the entire world and we're seeing the arab spring the occupy wall street movement really because of social interaction yes i think that a lot of social interaction will be curbed i want to take that back i theory i fear it will be that the gate keepers those who can turn on and off switches allow certain things disallow other things allow who gets to send me data about

a new movie rather than everyone have an equal say so of reaching me yeah i fear that very strongly that especially net neutrality issues like that internet freedom is be. in interfered with in major ways and it shouldn't i think the internet should have been considered from day one a country of its own that isn't bound by any individual country's laws maybe we could have an internet government but it didn't happen just like world government doesn't happen you know space doesn't belong to anyone the moon doesn't belong to anyone these are really beautiful principles in life and then as soon as a country figures out a way to get control of them it disappears i'm an optimist and i believe we can move more and more towards net neutrality the trouble is a lot of it has to be enforced by the government and. conservative types and libertarian types say government shouldn't have any say in control over that that takes away our freedom wrong it takes away the freedom of the companies that are taking away the freedom from us every freedom we have in the united states every one of them was given to us by congressional regulation it's called the bill

of rights that that is what gives us our freedom and yet it was from the government was government regulation no there are times when government regulation says you will not impede with the internet neutrality of the users but what do you think about this whole hacktivism movement that's come out of kind of you know the war on whistleblowers and the occupy wall street and anonymous and you have you know these takedowns of government websites and then you see legislation lexis the cyber intelligence security and protection act that kind of puts a stop to these things you think that that's kind of working as a guys. and using the hacktivism and hacktivists to kind of regulate the internet even more so i really think that there are means for legitimate discourse and trying to bring attention with activist x. is wrong on the other hand i believe very strongly in legitimized marches and that sort of stuff you know with the approval of the authorities there's room in our society to go out and have a microphone and to have

a say and be heard by so many others especially in this day of the internet so there are a lot of avenues it's just trying to you know grab something to get on the news and i don't think that's the way to maybe it's a start it puts ideas in people's heads but i really. i don't i don't think that's the right way to solve things and he said before that no one really has the responsibility to speak out about anything but why why do you steve why do you speak out and why do you think so many others don't about these issues you know what the whole world is very conflict oriented we want to take a side and fight for my side my side might be my country it might be my computer platform it might be which browser i use and i take my side and everybody else. it's bad i want to fight it and i only want to look at the world one way and i mean the i try to be so wide and open and just you know accept everything and judge it that's a water cold scientific you know approach don't take a side don't be like for one religion against others that sort of thing thank you

so much for your time. wealthy british style sun. market why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike's cancer or a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune into cars a report. my parents really truly honestly believe that what had happened was as a result of my father's exposure to agent orange i was born with multiple problems . i was missing my leg and my fingers and my big toe on

was. now on to my g.p. and danica joyce that was the fastest in free practice for the indianapolis grand prix the eleventh stage of the world championships the repsol on the rider was in scorching form from the outset local favorite and speeds were second his teammate and championship leader full day renzo climb to the side fastest time of the day but drives that head into the weekend twenty three points adrift of yamaha rider and countrymen so championships that. you have to improve some things before lead them out of that baggage even bit there. and we can get the better of it. right now just trying to get going to vent on this drug we're works long told. turn finally you really bad logic of is russia's most successful snowboarder yet he nabbed competes for switzerland and ask him if there is a child the athlete finished fourth at the winter olympics in vancouver and the targets gold in sochi but which country will he represent there r.t.

and to find out. well it's really simple story how i started snowboarding we moved from. holland to switzerland with my parents and my family and back then in ninety six and i mean moved from holland there was i didn't know what mountains were and moved into switzerland i just wanted to climb up there and do some sports and my brother discovered snowboarding and i just started from there and never i never let go. my feelings are really really not so much emotional it's more like i said this is more towards the sport this is my goals in the sport it's has to do with achieving my goals and which team can promote me better can bring me further closer to my

goals is this going to be. like it is it's going to be a weight on one side of the other. to be honest with you sean is a little bit of head ahead of things because you came back really really strong after a long break of competition and. it was all only good for him to long competition break and. yeah i'm getting so i'm evolving i'm getting stronger and stronger and we'll see how much more how much stronger i can get it's towards the olympic games and. if i continue like this chances are very high. risk management is a really big part of your job you always have to know what you're doing

a little bit more let's say than in different sports because the risk is so high when you're missed. calculate so. it's a really big part of fearlessness is doesn't really help actually but actually it's it's more destructive than anything else. what helps love always helps. from other people those around you that push you to live it limits. the beauty of it so that you can actually you know fly sometimes a fly so high and how fast you feel like for one minute or for half a minutes however long the run takes you're more in the air than on the ground. which is kind of without much help you know without any engines or. this or

a special thing it's something that is quite addictive when you starts getting the feeling for it and. it's what motivates us and i guess that's romantic. that's all sports for his time. in using sigrid laboratory to mccurry was able to build a new age most sophisticated robot which on fortunately doesn't give a darn about anything change mission to teach music creation why it should care about humans and we're going this is why you should care what you're only on the r.-g. dot com.
