I can't say I get it. But I like it. In these apocalyptic and bitchy times, it is high time to get some sarcastic Swedish hacker philsophy out there. Now is the time. The spectrial is apparently the place.
How could we forget the Pirate Bay Spectrial?! They released a Pirate Bay Manifesto - POwr, Broccoli and Kopimi. I don't really get it but I'm lazy.
But I like the idea of “Though seeded in prehistory, Kopimi is rooted in the future, and holds together a constantly vibrating avalanche of knowledge that forms the foundation for a discussion indifferent to the rippling changes of time and space,” reads the prelude of the manifesto." Here are some new commandments for everyone! (Kopimi homepage) VIA Spectrial » We just released a book!

According to Kopimi, all truths can be summarized in a single sentence: “the Internet is right”.
With prehistoric seeds, Kopimi roots itself in the future, holding together a vibrating avalanche of knowledge, creating the foundation of for a discussion untouched by the lashing shifts of time and space. A tumult where there’s no right to remain silent, you’ll have to talk to everyone.
Flocking, swarming, and noisy, we sow ourselves in new context and grow. This book is a spontaneously organised cluster swarm project with a single purpose — Kopimi will intensify, multiply, condensate. We want to reach further into ourselfs and into Kopimi. We want to penetrate into you and into the future.
Our words will, at the same time, sound like madness to deaf ears, and lovely caresses for those who see and hear, but above all: they will stick to you, you in particular — and your mother. This is a book for you who live in the moment, but seek your way forward through the ages.

In the shadow of the final crisis of the cultural industry in the 21st century, a larger picture grows of powehr, broccoli, and Kopimi. Every step of the failures of the cultural business is followed by the spooky successes and structurally diffuse spread of an Internet elite, all over the world. The book you’re reading has no author, no designer, no typesetter, and no means of distribution. Still it’s right before you. How did this happen?
Read the frightening instructions that a loosely connected nucleus of IT experts implanted into the network existance of an unsuspecting generation of youths, and about how the group stole the eggs, dollarsh, and jpegs away, right before the very eyes of the establishment, and powerful financial interests. Read about how serversh, seedersh, traeckers, mails, corporate contracts, foreign inverstors, Ikko’s allowance, scandalous ads, links, and search engines infiltrated and ruined a world, that had nobody to turn to, nobody to seek advice from, and nobody to trust…
This machine that is operationg below radar frequencies, moves unhindered from the jungle’s of Cambodia to the gay … of San Fransisco, by the empty beaches of Tel-Aviv, and into the internet connections of regular people of the suburbs to Jönköping or the harbour of Göteborg. It leaves nobody untouched and destroys everything in its way. Technically superior and physically independent, it continually transforms, metamorphoses, and reappears, in everchanging incarnations and under different code names. While strangling it’s opponents, it remains untouchable, and even more so — incomprehensible.
It has been said that this is the first time Kopimi frees the world, but we can rest assured that it will not be the last.
