Kopimism is a digital-age philosophy and recognized religion founded in Sweden by Isak Gerson in 2010. The Missionary Church of Kopimism asserts that information is sacred and that the act of copying and sharing knowledge is a virtuous, holy deed. Centered around keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V, the movement gained massive notoriety during the peak of the file-sharing era and the legal battles surrounding The Pirate Bay. In meme culture, Kopimism is frequently used to satirize strict copyright laws, celebrate the open internet, or humorously frame the simple act of duplicating data as a profound spiritual experience. It represents the ultimate intersection of internet subculture, digital activism, and modern ethics.
