[Sweden] New 'file-sharing' religion - Kopimism

[FngrBANG]

I too consider ctrl+C and V to be sacred

The church, which holds CTRL+C and CTRL+V (shortcuts for copy and paste) as sacred symbols

I nominate you to found "The Church of CTRL+K"

 

[Strube]

i thought tw was the church of CTRL+K

 

[Esteban_Villa]

nope just spry

 

[Lord Elessar]

This is future Cult of the Machine God. Go Adeptus Mechanicus.

That's the first thing I thought of

 

[WeRe-|WoLf|-]

If I join this church will I be protected if I copy Sweden's mass murderer?

If I join this church wouldn't ten percent of my downloads be an acceptable tithe?

Heh, useless philosophy major trying to justify his stealing. I mean, I download everything I can but I don't pretend it's not theft. We need to cease all soft education, i.e. stuff like history and philosophy in universities. Let people who are interested in that stuff teach themselves in their spare time. Engineers are more useful than a fucking linguistics major.

 

[Wowbagger]

I know a linguistics major, soon-to-be certified speech therapist, who's probably going to be making more money than you

 

[brick]

WOULD YOU STEAL A CAR

 

[FngrBANG]

THEN WHY WOULD YOU HIJACK A RELIGION?

 

[Vanster]

Intellectual property is an antiquated idea and will not survive in this modern world.

 

[FngrBANG]

Then I'm not going to share my Honkey bomb design with you Vanster...


Never...

not f*cking ever!

Probably. I.e. not likely.

What do you want to replace it?

 

[HaPpY]

i know this one guy who knows this one guy who has a philosophy major who isnt living in his moms basement

 

[vortex]

Probably. I.e. not likely.

I expected more from you absent. In what world does probable mean less likely to happen?

 

[absent]

In this case, probably was a sort of euphemism for not likely.

 

[Vifoxe]

So, does this mean I can seek asylum in Sweden for religious persecution if the Feds bust down my door and charge me with copyright infringement?

 

[Wowbagger]

In this case, probably was a sort of euphemism for not likely.

A sort of euphemism. I.e. not actually a euphemism at all.
