Religion The Church of Steve Jobs Has Competition

Posted by on Thu, Jan 5, 2012 at 10:03 AM

True, it's not serious competition...

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

But this church could grow and become as big as Jesus, as big as Jobs.


Thanks goes to Ben Demar for the tip.

The sharing of information as sacred?

I could actually really get behind an idea like that.
