Thus marked the most prominent instance of [[Signal-hijacking\|broadcast signal jacking]], a practice dating back to the "[[Southern-incident\|Southern Incident]]" of 1977 in which a being named [[error\|Vrillon]] of the [[~~error~~\|Ashtar Galactic Command]] interrupted an ITN news bulletin to warn humanity of impending disaster at the close of the second millennium.Following the arrest and subsequent retirement of resident hacker [[error\|fantom_limb]] under the absurdly nebulous [[error\|Computer Fraud and Abuse Act]], the hacker/rap collective [[Konami Dream]] turned to the tradition of signal pirating for its final self-described [[Phreaking\|Phreaque Leak]]. Targeting the Warner-Apex Satellite Productions, or [[W.A.S.P.\|WASP]], -owned [[NY1]], an amateurish 24-hour cable news station based in New York City, Konami staged a bold late night broadcast takeover.

	The now legendary Japanese manga [[Berserk\|’’Kenpū Denki Berserk’’]], or ‘’Berserk’’ for short, was begun by artist [[error\|Kentaro Miura]] in the late 1980's while still in high school. Named after the [[error\|berserkers]], an ancient sect of trance-induced Scandinavian warriors, the manga's mix of complex emotional themes and gory ultra violence found favor across the ocean in the disillusioned youth of the United States. ‘’Berserk’’'s pages were scanned and shared via [[UseNet]] posting boards, with handwritten, and often errant, english translations scrawled in the margins (documents known as "scanlations"). Upon the release of the manga's anime version in 1997, the hacker/rap collective [[Konami Dream]] fell under ‘’Berserks’’' mesmerizing spell. The group's new producer, an ambitious pop whiz from suburban Long Island named [[Murad-jacob-Kevorkian\|Kevorkian]], obtained an illegal Berserk VHS dub and set to work sampling, or "chopping", loops from the Berserk OST and other related material by its composer, [[Susumu Hirasawa]]. Meanwhile, Konami's trio of rappers put finger to keyboard, composing a flurry of lyrics exploring themes like predestination, existentialism and, in colloquial terms, sticking it to the man. Upon completion, the group distributed the mixtape via a process known as "[[Hotline-connect\|Hotlining]]" - cryptically uploading the audio and artwork to the recently launched [[Hotline-connect\|Hotline Connect]], a streamlined successor to the [[Internet-relay-chat\|Internet Relay Chat]], or IRC, community (essentially, the internet's version of Skid Row). Nestled amongst Hotline's bastion of darknet drug sales, pornography, and illegally traded .mp3 files (say the dot lol), Konami's [[Berserk! ▶︎\|’’Berserk!’’]]spread like wildfire. The mixtape's final track, a poignant ode to the series’ protagonist Guts, found legs beyond cyberspace's underworld, receiving local airplay and, reportedly, causing tension within the group.

Nestled amongst Hotline's bastion of darknet drug sales, pornography, and illegally traded .mp3 files (say the dot lol), Konami's [[Berserk! ▶︎\|’’Berserk!’’]]spread like wildfire. The mixtape's final track, a poignant ode to the series’ protagonist Guts, found legs beyond cyberspace's underworld, receiving local airplay and, reportedly, causing tension within the group.

			Kevorkian and the rapper [[Hades\|LKA Hades]], hoping to secure label funding, departed, setting to work on the macabre, [[error\|John Carpenter]]-inspired "[[error\|Hellraiser]]", an LP of dense lyrics, bombastic production and - to its own detriment - endless waves of expensive and unclearable samples.

Targeting the Warner-Apex Satellite Productions, or [[W.A.S.P.\|WASP]], -owned [[NY1]], an amateurish 24-hour cable news station based in New York City, Konami staged a bold late night broadcast takeover.
