Followers of so-called "Kopimism" believe copying, sharing, and improving on knowledge, music, and other types of information is only human—the Romans remixed Greek mythology, after all, they say. In January, Kopimism—a play on the words "copy me"—was formally recognized by a Swedish government agency, raising its profile worldwide.

While many mock such movements, I would say that a lot of people who do not support copyright law are more committed to their ideals than some of the people who attend religious services on Sundays.
I also do not think that the exemption from copyright law 'plunders' any more than other religions' expemptions from taxes.
I would have expected them to 'borrow' google's droid as a symbol and annoint some of the opensource and wiki pundits as high priests.
I may just have to like them on facebook...
