a member of the Pirate Party of Sweden. After two failed attempts, Kopimism was officially recognized as a religion by the Swedish government in January 2012. The Church considers copying a holy virtue, and uses various Kopimi symbols to present itself. Copie Inspired by Kopimi, the Pirate Party of Brazil created their own version of the concept called "Copie", which plays both on the Portuguese words "copie" (meaning copy) and "co-pie" (meaning tweet together). The Copie logo shows 5 birds tweeting together. Notes Three different versions of the Kopimi symbol were used on the Pirate Bay front page throughout the years. The first was a blue pyramid with a K in it (picture). It was added around 15–17 June 2005 (see these archived versions: 15 June 2005, 17 June 2005) and stood until May/June 2006 (see: 13 May 2006, 13 June 2006). It was then replaced with another pyramid, but with a newly stylised K in it, and striped red and white, similar to the US flag (picture, higher res). It stood until c. January 2009 (30 December 2008, 6 January 2009, 12 January 2009). The third was just the stylised K (picture), which stood for the next 11 years, until March/April 2020. From 6/7 March to c. 11 April the site was offline. After that, a new front page was used that no longer has the Kopimi logo (see archived versions from 6 March to 12 April).
