If claimed adherents don't post their personal information (credit card info, date of birth, etc) then I doubt their sincerity. Kopimism and privacy are clearly antithetical. The first information a sincere Kopimist should seek to share is their own information.
If a person claims to be a Kopimist and only copies pop culture ephemera, then I think they're bullshitting.
- slowpoke 15y agoI'm sorry, but no, there is absolutely no antithesis between those two goals. Hell, that's part of the Hacker ethics: "Make public data available, protect private data."[1] Art isn't private data. Credit card info is. In other words, you are bullshitting.

- jonhendry 15y agoWhat does "hacker ethics" have to do with a supposed "religion" based on free transfer of information? There may be similarities, but a "religion" that claims to believe that information should be free would seem to have no room for private information. Keeping your private information private ought to be a cardinal sin in kopimism. If it's private, then you're not sharing it, but you claim that information should be shared. Thus, kopimism a bunch of insincere, sophomoric rubbish.
