Kopimism - a newly-formalised religion
IainB:
Well, I learned a lot from this (below), so it might be of use to you if you feel somewhat trapped by circumstances:
Prisoned From The Cradle To The Grave
- Author: H.G. Wells (from "The History of Mr.Polly")
from Chapter 9 - The Potwell Inn
But when a man has once broken through the paper walls of everyday circumstance, those unsubstantial walls that hold so many of us securely prisoned from the cradle to the grave, he has made a discovery. If the world does not please you, you can change it. Determine to alter it at any price, and you can change it altogether. You may change it to something sinister and angry, to something appalling, but it may be you will change it to something brighter, something more agreeable, and at the worst something much more interesting. There is only one sort of man who is absolutely to blame for his own misery, and that is the man who finds life dull and dreary. There are no circumstances in the world that determined action cannot alter, unless, perhaps, they are the walls of a prison cell, and even those will dissolve and change, I am told, into the infirmary compartment, at any rate, for the man who can fast with resolution.
--- End quote ---
Not without some risk, some years ago I changed my life to something brighter, something more agreeable, and something much more interesting.
The creation of Kopimism is along these lines - the creation of what could become an enjoyable and more interesting reality to fight back against the oppressive reality created to enslave us by the RIAA/MAFIAA DRM brigade.
