Kopimism

Kopimists believe that information sharing is a holy process and that data becomes increasingly valuable the more often it gets shared. Followers of the religion consider CTRL + C and CTRL + V, the keyboard shortcuts for “copy” and “paste,” sacred symbols of worship. The religion’s name comes from the Swedish word for “copy.”

So, would Kopimism blasphemy be copying and pasting information without putting quotes around it, failing to distinguish it as quoted text?

I believe the bar on the left end of the text does a good job of indicating it's a quote. Blasphemy would be the result of typing the quote in by hand.

They all watch too much MSNBC... they get ideas.
