I wouldn't say 'lifted'. They were straight reading manifesto itself, not pretending that it's something else. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwozkbmjzC4
It's funny how the hacker says, "Cool" and the reader said, "Cool? It's not cool. It's commie bullshit." Honest question: Which one is correct?

There was a time when "hacker" meant "a wizard's wizard"; and a time where it meant a digital vandal over POTS lines; and a time where reclaiming the word "hacker" became fashionable; and important computer hackers began quietly wearing the word; and then there was the time where marketers became growth hackers and musicians became harmony hackers.

And those hackers became competitive to see who could put the coolest looking intro in front of the hacked/cracked software bragging about who crack it. And then those intros eventually gave rise to what they called the Demo Scene where "hackers" would gather to see who could write the coolest visual/audio experience under various levels of constraint. And many of the graphic algorithms derived by hackers in the demo…
