That's what I get for only watching the video.  They could really do better than this.  Oh, ha. That’s what I get for only watching the video.  They could really do better than this.

The Church of Kopimism allows the couple to share their love with others, as long as those others don’t steal it. Most importantly, however, they have to copy and remix themselves." “Like any other matrimony, a Kopimism marriage is bound by rules.

I also didn't hear them say it was an obligation. Rather they said it was one of the most holy acts. What I don't understand is how marriage even works into their religious framework. Marriage seems very anti-sharing. Marriage is one of the only institutions in which an individual legally shares ownership of possessions with one other person (and only that person). Rather than opening up one's information to share with the community it seems to purposefully section it off. (Also, monogamy?) Though... maybe marriage is simply the way for Kopimist laity to practice sharing in all things. And it is the only legal way for them to share possessions, so maybe marriage simply signifies the legal limitations of the religion. I guess they could also be remixing the religion to suit their own desires and needs. lol You’re right, however I don’t think Kopimism ever claimed to be radically queer.
