Cyber News and Network security

A view which is surprising to me personally who has used e-mail / Internet forerunners since 1985-86. Internet seen by most people, users, social observers as a world without borders, a world without rules, the world of freedom. Even more extreme, some participants even seem to believe wholeheartedly that there is no God in the Maya world. Is it for granted?

Many real-world logic is inverted if we are on the Internet. Something that was not rude, rough, the pornographic, inappropriate - into something that seems to be normal & the meet with a vengeance on the Internet. A porn site can even blasphemous-out by users because of lack of porn. There is no legal claim for someone who did immoral acts in public space Internet. It was common knowledge that many people in Indonesia who stole a stolen credit card on the Internet. Gossip, memojokan others, anonymous letters, became a very common thing on the Internet. Apparatus look impotent against crime in cyberspace, there is no law, regulation, Penal Code, which can not memojokan either the perpetrator of this to the green table - is there a green table on the Internet? Is there cyberlaw? There does not seem to.

I happen to support myself in the virtual world, without having a job in the world at all ordinary. Home everyday writing. It is impossible for me to do things that are not polite, porn, etc.. At that made trust (trust) the public will disappear & people will automatically isolate, segregate people doing bad things were. Rizki be lost caused by mistakes made. Unfortunately, mistakes, actions are not the slightest good if done in the virtual world would be very easy to spread - the people's court will come naturally to making mistakes. Here is not to use the written law, but the unwritten law, customary law, which was built consensus among the people. Once the phony to the test, not trusted for life - very appropriate to describe the existing conditions.

The above are often not aware of colleagues who do credit card theft, breach of decency on the Internet. They often think that there is no written law & law enforcement officers can arrest them. In fact, there is no written law, customary law which would punish between the members of the public who are not doing well.

Instead what will happen if we do good, charitable pious to fellow human, such charitable process can be very efficiently by using Internet technology. With a very low cost so we can spread the existing knowledge on us to as many people as efficient a way to attach it & send it via e-mail. I myself took out the cost Rp. 40-60000 / month for internet with a load of 600 letters per day. Most of the discussion conducted via Internet mailing list. With such a low cost of all existing knowledge in the head in trying to spread, the interaksikan with co-existing. Not expensive to do well on the Internet.

Alhamdullillah, reward, reward gained from good deeds are not expensive cost is usually far greater than what we spend. As a retired civil servant, a former professor of ITB who do not work everywhere, do not provide consulting, except write tidakmengajar & give a lecture course. Still be alive is enough to eat three times a day. Here appears the Creator of human his guidance appeared in cyberspace. Allah maha fair & will never be a charity one count of worship we do.

The consequence of the above is actually a lot of influence on the social aspects of human culture. Examples of issues of copyright & patent, for arts workers, researchers, programmers - copyright is a protection mechanism based on a written law works. Economic rights guaranteed by law in writing, a person who copied, plowing will be subject to criminal sanctions. The problem for arts workers, researchers & young programmers, not yet famous - difficult & expensive for them to follow the vagaries of distribution channels cassettes, CDs, software. The least expensive way is to distribute their works directly on the Internet for free, copyleft used. Unwritten law, customary law, the Internet community consensus is used to protect the economic rights to the arts workers, researchers, programmers remain awake. We know Linux, Napster etc. copyleft which adopts them. This allows people to understand a little can live & exist in this world without too much capital, but getting decent rewards for permanent survival.

All this is possible because the platform where we are shifting from a platform that information was slow in the real world to the Internet platform that enables us to deliver the work, information & knowledge instantly. Various real-world paradigm into question, the platform will lead to form a society that is not class, an equal society, in parallel, each one no more & no less than the others returned to nature as a human being on earth for charitable horizontally between fellow human & worship vertically to the creator.

There is no god but God - that echoed in the real world, also applies very well in cyberspace. Even the various structures, bureaucracy, power becomes the average yield of this virtual infrastructure, human return to nature
