Cyberspace and the Sacralization of Information

"The religion's association with illegal file sharing has been said not to be a sign that illegal file-sharing will be excused from Sweden's zero-tolerance approach to the controversial matter."

The German wikipedia is even more direct (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Det_Missionerande_Kopimistsamfu...):

"Der formale Status der Kirche ändert jedoch nichts an der strafrechtlichen Belangung von Mitgliedern bei Urheberrechtsverletzungen, wobei Gerson jedoch hofft, dass der Glaube der Kopimisten in der zukünftigen Gesetzgebung berücksichtigt wird."

Trying to translate:

"The formal status of the church makes no difference of the criminal arraignment of members for violation of copyright [note: "Urheberrecht" means something different than "copyright", since "Urheberrecht" is centrally based on the concept of "Urheberschaft" (authorship), but this is probably nevertheless the best word to use for the translation], where Gerson nevertheless hopes, that the faith of the Kopimist will be considered in the future legislation."
