Sweden recognises Kopimism
January 5, 2012 at 6:01 pm
Quote:A "church" whose central tenet is the right to file-share has been formally recognised by the Swedish government.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-16424659

What the hell am I reading? A religion of plagiarism or piracy? Someone please explain this to me. The church holds CTRL+C and CTRL+V shortcuts for copy and paste on our keyboards as "sacred symbols".

Are these guys cyber monks or something? Confused

Probably to get a tax exemption and to exercise their right to freedom of religion. Basically what the RC church, the Baptists, Morons, Muslims, Hindus, Scientology, the WBC, and every other church and sect does
