This is happening people! In 2010 a group of file sharers have been trying to get their beliefs recognized as an official religion in Sweden. From what I have read they tired many times with them being stone walled. Well it took them sometime but it seems to be official, these file sharers have finally got the church they have always wanted and hope that this might take away from some of the legal problems with file sharing. The Missionary Church of Kopimism was founded by Isak Gerson and the church is filling to have their beliefs accepted by the law. This is an official church yes, but the copyright laws are still to be followed but the Gerson is hoping that this church will help change the laws in the future. The church is around 3,000 strong now and this type of news might get the church to grow even more. I will be interested to see what comes down the pike for this religion as many people have been persecuted for their beliefs in the past, is the next step being Gerson being a martyr for his own cause? We will just have to wait and see.
