Kopimism – New Official Religion
STOCKHOLM – Kopimisme, de godsdienst van internetpiraten, is in Zweden een officieel erkende religie in die zin dat de priesters van dat geloof nu ook mensen voor de Staat mogen trouwen. De Missionerende Kopimistengemeenschap staat volgens de zegsvrouw nu officieel bijgeschreven als ”een geloofsgroep die bouwt op godsdienstige werkzaamheden en daarvoor samenkomsten met gezamenlijke meditatie of bidden organiseert”.
Kopiëren en verspreiden van materiaal, illegale bestandsdeling volgens critici, staat hoog in het vaandel bij de kopimisten, net als bij de Zweedse Piratenpartij die de politieke spreekbuis voor de internetpiraten is. De partij mist zetels in Zweedse volksvertegenwoordigingen, maar heeft sinds 2010 wel twee afgevaardigden in het Europarlement.(via)

Catch-22,’ Joseph Heller’s Darkly Hilarious Indictment of War
[via]
Catch-22 is a satirical, historical novel by the American author Joseph Heller, first published in 1961. The novel, set during the later stages of World War II from 1943 onwards, is frequently cited as one of the great literary works of the twentieth century. It has a distinctive non-chronological style where events are described from different characters’ points of view and out of sequence so that the time line develops along with the plot.
