The Pirate Bay has just released their manifesto in English. The book, titled 'POwr, Broccoli and Kopimi' is filled with 100 inspiring principles for everyone who aims to live the Kopimi lifestyle. “The Internet is right,” is the ultimate wisdom.

Many people have seen the small ‘Kopimi’ logo at the bottom of The Pirate Bay front page, but no one really knows what it means exactly – including the people who put the logo up there. In an attempt to explain what Kopimi is, the Pirate Bay crew have released a manifesto.

“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.

TorrentFreak talked to Marcin de Kaminski of the Kopimi Project – which expands way beyond TPB – to get some background information on the manifesto. “We are a close group of people, formed as a cluster – or a swarm if you prefer – which has been doing web related projects since the early 2000,” he told us.

“Many people have tried to describe what kind of people we are and why we are doing all the things we do. No one has come even close. We thought it was time for an official biography of some sort, and to try to show people that we have done lots of things besides our filesharing projects,” Marcin explained.

The manifesto can be seen as a guide on how to live life as a true Kopimist, summarized in a list of 100 principles or guidelines. The Kopimi team came up with the idea this Sunday afternoon. Yesterday – only two days later – the Swedish version was published followed by the English translation a day later.

Some of our personal favorites here at TorrentFreak:

012. Don’t think outside the box. Build a box.

057. At a trial, deny everything.

069. Take care of small animals.

100. Stop using IRL. Use AFK instead.

The .torrent for the manifesto is available on The Pirate Bay. Of course everyone is encouraged to ‘share, translate, remix, bend, modify, copy, trash, bash, move, publish, burn, hide, remake’ – in true Kopimi style.
