you mean puppy, 242, and the like? whose flag are you saying they stole?
TG? SPK? kraftwerk?
i'd argue those 80's artists did not simply steal the work of the 70's pioneers, but
turned it into something else, a morphing if you will. a bit more original than
later cases of photocopying, although it is wrong to call it by the same name
"industrial" like everybody does, but that's just another case of misnomers
becoming popular.
