Although copyright owner is a copy act pointed out as "infringement of copyright", on the other hand, there are also more than a certain number of people who think that copying is a sacred act.

In order to prevent persecution against faith, the church asked for official approval but had been rejected twice by "to formalize prayer or meditation".

It seems that this time it was finally able to get the approval of being "religion" officially. Mr. Gerson is extremely pleased with this news and I hope that many people will be able to appear on the table as "Kopimist (Kopimism Member)". "There is still legal stigma remaining in the act of copying and I am worried that a lot of people will be sent to prison by copying or remixing.I will say that this situation will change" I hope under the name of Kopimi, "Gerson says. Even though Kopimism was approved, copyright infringement is not immediately permitted, but Gerson believes that the time will come to be taken into consideration in legislation someday.

In the last six months, members of Kopimism has increased from 1,000 to 3,000, and it is hoped that this news will further increase rapidly.
