Julian Assange: Why the world needs WikiLeaks (script)
Summary

He says that in the world there is a lot of big disparity and information that are hidden by big companies and even countries. They spend big money to conceal it.
WikiLieaks finds the information and shows it to the public though the most important things are to protect the whistleblowers who are really well motivated, to change the perception and opinion of the people who are paying for corruption incidents.
He also says that What WikiLeaks does should be that people can feel morality and it does not create victims but it nurtures victims or it polices perpetrators of crime. He thinks that the world needs WikiLieaks, because the world needs freedom of speech legislation and transparency legislation, even if the big power comes to it to control or to secret the information.
