The article on the Hobo handbook is interesting, but I think the writer missed one point.

"The swearing-in ceremony typifies the central tension of the train-hopping community. The irony of anarchists imposing a structure on the clutter of the information age is apparently lost on the propagators and protectors of the Guide. These are people who preach the porousness of private property while guarding the gates of their church."

It's not so much about copyright, as keeping it out of the hands of the 'enemy'.

It's also a kind of initiation into the culture.
