If you become registered Copyist, copying stuff will be part of your religion and part of freedom of religion is that no one shall be barred from practicing their religion so is that a loophole to dodge piracy laws?

Seeking approval? You just need to justify your actions huh?

No, it's not.

I don't know about over in Euroland, but I'm pretty sure that would violate the Establishment Clause in the U.S.

I dont do piracy...I buy from Russia

Just speculating as Copyism is official state sanctioned religion in Sweden and freedom of religion laws are universal.

You can't violate someone else's rights no matter what your religion might dictate.

freedom of religion is a constitutional right

freedom to profit is not.

If this guy can worship Space Aliens...



Then I think you should be able to worship any torrent site you want to.

The artists have a right to be compensated for their work, and they have a right to decide who can distribute it.

Also, would you be ok with Sharia Law being enforced in the U.S.?

the artists dont have a "right" to be compensated for anything.
their "art" is only worth what other people are willing to pay for it.
there is no set standard no forced minimum pay for art, there is no "right" to compensation for anything.


you get paid to go into work not because its your right to be compensated but because you wouldnt go if you didnt get paid.


i do, however, have a right to worship as i see fit under any religious system of my choosing.
