Abuse Of Authority
Abuse of authority, in the form of political corruption, is the use of legislated or otherwise authorized powers by government officials for illegitimate private gain. Misuse of government power for other purposes, such as repression of political opponents and general police brutality, is not considered political corruption. Neither are illegal acts by private persons or corporations not directly involved with the government. An illegal act by an officeholder constitutes political corruption only if the act is directly related to their official duties.
Abuse of authority is separated from Abuse of power in that the act is originally condoned, but is extended beyond that initially conceived and is in not all cases strictly illegal...taken from Wikipedia.

what friends for?...
“Anyone that like enlarged the good fortune and lengthened the age so should it continuing relationship ties.” (Story Hadith: Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawud)
“Barang siapa yang suka diluaskan rezekinya dan dipanjangkan umurnya maka hendaklah ia menyambung tali silaturahim.”
(Hadis Riwayat: Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawud)
SOPA atau kependekan dari Stop Online Piracy Act, merupakan rancangan undang-undang yang diperkenalkan oleh salah seorang representatif US, Lamar Seeligson Smith yang diajukan kepada Kongres Amerika Serikat.
Apa itu SOPA?
Dikutip dari Wikipedia tentang apa itu SOPA. Sedikit lebih lengkap daripada penjelasan di atas, dan cukup untuk menjelaskan apa itu SOPA.
“The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), is a bill that was introduced in the United States House of Representatives by House Judiciary Committee Chair Representative Lamar Smith (R-TX) and a bipartisan group of 12 initial co-sponsors. The bill expands the ability of U.S. law enforcement and copyright holders to fight online trafficking in copyrighted intellectual property and counterfeit goods.”
Tujuan SOPA
Adapun tujuan SOPA diajukan adalah untuk menghentikan tindakan yang merugikan pemegang hak cipta (Copyright) atas pembajakan atau pemalsuan hak kekayaan intelektualnya di internet dan memberikan keluasan hak bagi para penegak hukum untuk menindaklanjutinya.
Efek dan Pengaruh SOPA
Sesuai dengan tujuan SOPA, yakni untuk menghentikan pembajakan atau hal-hal yang merugikan pemegang hak cipta, maka hal tersebut akan berpengaruh sangat besar terhadap apa yang terkandung di dunia internet saat ini.
Salah satu contoh bila SOPA jadi diterapkan adalah pihak pemerintah Amerika Serikat berhak untuk memblokir atau bahkan menghapus website/blog yang (dipandang) melanggar hak cipta (copyright).
Mereka (USA) berhak untuk menginstruksikan semua layanan yang masih bernaung pada undang-undang mereka, seperti layanan hosting, registrant (penyedia layanan domain), layanan pembayaran online, dan bahkan layanan mesin pencari untuk memutus akses atau kontak kepada website/blog yang dipandang melanggar hak cipta.
Pro dan Kontra SOPA
Banyak pihak yang mendukung adanya SOPA ini, seperti GoDaddy misalnya. GoDaddy adalah penyedia layanan registar dan juga hosting. Bila SOPA ini disahkan, maka pihak GoDaddy akan menghentikan layanan ke domain-domain yang dipandang melanggar hak cipta.
Situasi ini juga dimanfaatkan oleh layanan lain yang menentang SOPA. Mereka (seperti hostgator, namecheap, atau name.com) bahkan mengeluarkan kupon diskon untuk siapa saja yang hendak memindahkan domainnya dari Godaddy ke layanan mereka.
Beberapa situs besar yang menentang SOPA antara lain : Google, AOL, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Zynga, dan tentu saja WordPress yang mengkampanyekan memerangi SOPA di salah satu postingnya — Help Stop SOPA/PIPA. Tidak lupa, Matt Cutts, sang insinyur Google juga turut mengkampanyekan menolak SOPA — Progress against SOPA.
Simpulan
Setuju tidak setuju, suka tidak suka, SOPA adalah produk dan praktik monopoli atas nama perlindungan hak cipta (copyright). Bagaimana dengan Anda? Pendukung SOPA kah? atau menentangnya?

The Arab Spring
The Arab Spring (Arabic: الربيع العربي ar-Rabīʻ al-ʻArabiyy), otherwise known as the Arab Awakening, is a revolutionary wave of demonstrations and protests occurring in the Arab world that began on Saturday, 18 December 2010. To date, there have been revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt; a civil war in Libya resulting in the fall of its government; civil uprisings in Bahrain, Syria, and Yemen, the latter resulting in the resignation of the Yemeni prime minister; major protests in Algeria, Iraq,Jordan, Kuwait, Morocco, and Oman; and minor protests in Lebanon, Mauritania, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, and Western Sahara. Clashes at the borders of Israel in May 2011 and the Palestine 194 movement were also inspired by the regional Arab Spring.
The protests have shared techniques of civil resistance in sustained campaigns involving strikes, demonstrations, marches and rallies, as well as the use of social media to organize, communicate, and raise awareness in the face of state attempts at repression and Internet censorship.
Many demonstrations have met violent responses from authorities, as well as from pro-government militias and counter-demonstrators. A major slogan of the demonstrators in the Arab world has been ash-shab yurid isqat an-nizam ("the people want to bring down the regime")...taken from Wikipedia
