Kopimism, Sweden's Pirate Religion, Begins to Plunder America
from U.S.News...

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...

I am waiting for the first schism so that I can agitate against the renegades and apostates.
Are we going to see martyres who stand up for their faith against the DMCA? Last edited by CommonReader; 04-22-2012 at 04:04 PM. |

Giggleton tithe? Ha, he doesn't pay for anything. Wait, if Kopimism is a religion, should we relegate his posts about him wanting free entertainment to the politics and religion section? |

I think that if we get into a discussion of the motivations behind various religions and schisms this discussion would get very ugly very fast.
