I'm sorry, but no, there is absolutely no antithesis between those two goals. Hell, that's part of the Hacker ethics:

"Make public data available, protect private data."[1]

Art isn't private data. Credit card info is. In other words, you are bullshitting.

What does "hacker ethics" have to do with a supposed "religion" based on free transfer of information?

There may be similarities, but a "religion" that claims to believe that information should be free would seem to have no room for private information. Keeping your private information private ought to be a cardinal sin in kopimism. If it's private, then you're not sharing it, but you claim that information should be shared.

Thus, kopimism a bunch of insincere, sophomoric rubbish.
