Is there any kind of underground movement for authors who accept plagiarism - at least in part -as a valid method of composition? Because there totally should be.

Charles Ives used to utilize a kind of musical plagiarism in his compositions, by lifting themes from other music and putting them into his work. Usually just folk tunes. It contributed to a kind of soundscape of past memories; of his college life, childhood memories of funerals and holiday songs, so on. I know that's more of a musical example, but the idea is there. I'd say if you were to find an example, it would be from a modernist. Joyce?

Burroughs, maybe?

Also any poets that work in erasure.

Guy Debord wrote the entirety of the Society of the Spectacle by taking other writer's quotes and changing some words on them. He also created the tactic of detournement, a form of plagiarism that aimed to subvert the original piece's meaning.

Any movement influenced by situationism, from post-left anarchy to cyber activism deals with this in one way or another.

Haven't read it, but David Shield's book Reality Hunger is mostly passages cribbed from other books with some of the author's original writing thrown in, and nothing is attributed so you don't know which is which.
