IT'S COME TO THIS: Sweden recognises new file-sharing religion Kopimism


Sweden recognises new file-sharing religion Kopimism
File-sharing is a religious ceremony according to the church leader
A "church" whose central tenet is the right to file-share has been formally recognised by the Swedish government. 
The Church of Kopimism claims that "kopyacting" - sharing information through copying - is akin to a religious service. 
The "spiritual leader" of the church said recognition was a "large step". 
But others were less enthusiastic and said the church would do little to halt the global crackdown on piracy. 
It doesn't mean illegal file-sharing will become legal, any more than if 'Jedi' was recognised as a religion everyone would be walking around with light sabres” 
The Swedish government agency Kammarkollegiet finally registered the Church of Kopimism as a religious organisation shortly before Christmas, the group said.
SERIOUSLY: THIS DECISION MAKES A MOCKERY OF REAL RELIGION. AND IT SHOWS THAT POSTMODERNISTS ARE AMORAL. IT MAKES ME FEEL THAT WESTERN CIVILIZATION MIGHT NOT WITHSTAND THE TWO-FRONT WAR WAGED AGAINST IT BY ISLAMISTS AND POSTMODERNISTS. SIGH.
