Das Leben ist immer anders als die Realität.

Filesharing ist jetzt eine Religion.

Ein paar Piraten haben in Schweden File-Sharing als Religion angemeldet. Die Religion nennt sich “Church of Kopimism” und hält CTRL+C und CTRL+V für heilige Symbole.

Since 2010 a group of self-confessed pirates have tried to get their beliefs recognized as an official religion in Sweden. After their request was denied several times, the Church of Kopimism – which holds CTRL+C and CTRL+V as sacred symbols – is now approved by the authorities as an official religion. The Church hopes that its official status will remove the legal stigma that surrounds file-sharing.
