Right, if we were establishing a legal entity to operate OpenNIC as -- 
perhaps that shouldn't be in the United States, however, what we are talking 
about here is a fundraising mechanism and not a legal entity to operate 
OpenNIC.

Also http://kopimism.me/about is now working. 

Our website is hosted on github pages, our faith believes in sharing and 
culture. OpenNIC is nearly an embodiment of what we stand for, a 
decentralized network that allows us to operate different services freely 
without oppressive governments stopping us.

Pretty much everything in kopimism is based in science, we just have a very 
spiritual connection to sharing and internet culture. Since everything is a 
remix, you are a remix of your parents and your website is remix of the 
combined knowledge and experiences that the designer(s) have gained 
throughout their lifetime... it doesn't seem counter-science to have a 
spiritual connection to it.

Think of it closer to buddhism or another non-entity based religion, instead 
of comparing it to a deism based religion.
