They're located around the world

and communicate via a restricted mailing list.

From this platform,

they start defining their thoughts

of building up a worldwide movement

to mass publicise classified information.

They affirm that this is

the most cost-effective political weapon,

and that they intend to place a new star

on the political firmament of man.

Any reform that is large-scale

must be based upon information,

because what else can spread other than viruses?

Only information can spread and

achieve large-scale reform.

Inspired by Wikipedia,

WikiLeaks distribute the leaked information

to anonymous volunteers to check its authenticity

and eliminate any traces of the sender's identity.

It turns out that the majority of the general public

has neither the time, interest or resources

to analyse WikiLeaks' material.

But there are professionals to turn to.

In 2006, we hoped that the general public

would write analysis articles ...collaboratively.

And not at all true.

WikiLeaks come to the conclusion

that media are the only channels

that have the resources and motivation required

to create a real impact.

In 2007, WikiLeaks,

in association with the British daily newspaper 'The Guardian'

publish evidence of former

president Daniel arap Moi

having embezzled massive sums from Kenyan state funds.

Shortly after that, they release a report about

the Kenyan police's use of death patrols.

This disclosure causes a great stir,

but, as an organisation,

WikiLeaks continue to remain unknown to the general public.

However, the word spreads

among activists far and wide on the Net,

eventually reaching the German Chaos Computer Club,

the biggest and oldest club

for hackers in the world.

I heard about it in late 2007

from a couple of friends.

I started reading a bit more,

but I started to understand

the value of such a project to society.

The politically engaged Chaos Computer Club

has been fighting a long-term battle

for free access to information.

One of its members, Daniel Domscheit-Berg,

is quick to recognise the common ground

between his view of society and that of WikiLeaks'.

He quits his job as a computer consultant

so as to devote all of his time to the new organisation.

The question is the attitude.

What attitude do you have to society?

Do you look at what there is

and you accept that as God given?

Or do you see society

as something where you identify a problem

and then you find a

creative solution for that problem?

So it is a matter of, are you a spectator

or are you actively participating in society?

The computer club has put the skills of some of

the sharpest hacking talents
