Summary |
MEGA MANKim Dotcom has become famous worldwide, dividing opinion on whether he's the internet's biggest pirate or protector. In a special profile on Tuesday's Dateline, Mark Davis travels to New Zealand to meet the man behind the bravado. The flamboyant 39-year-old tycoon, born in Germany as Kim Schmitz, is fighting extradition to the United States on copyright, money laundering and racketeering charges over his now defunct file-sharing website, Megaupload. Before being shut down, it's alleged the site netted US$175 million and cost copyright owners US$ 500 million by hosting pirated content such as movies, TV shows and music. But the legal challenge hasn't stopped Kim launching a new file-sharing service, Mega, at a typically lavish and eccentric press conference, complete with a fake FBI raid and female dancers in military uniform. Mark reveals the man behind the headlines and talks candidly with his inner circle of advisers. How do they hope to win Kim's 'war for the internet' and defeat the legal might trying to stop them?STRESS TESTThe pressure to succeed in Hong Kong's schools is so high, it's estimated 28% of students aged between 15 and 19 have thought about suicide. On Tuesday, Dateline meets some of the high achievers who spend almost every waking hour studying, and visits a school with high profile 'celebrity tutors', for whom only the best will do. The pupils regularly top worldwide rankings, but at what cost? Suicide prevention experts say lessons need to be learned from the effect that the stress is having on youngsters. The issue has prompted two sisters to record a song called Mama, I'm Under So Much Pressure, which became a YouTube hit, and some schools are going to the other extreme to encourage students to be more relaxed. What will it mean for the next generation entering Hong Kong's competitive society? THE ULTIMATE GOALPassions run high in Barcelona when thousands come out onto the streets to support their beloved football team, known as Barca. But increasingly the crowds supporting the team have also come to represent the support for Catalonia's independence from Spain. On Tuesday's Dateline, David O'Shea looks at the region's long intertwined relationship between sport and politics, and why there are such strong passions over the area becoming an independent country. David is there as an historic agreement is signed to hold a referendum on independence next year, but what will it mean for Spain, its troubled economy and national identity? |
