  So? Is he wrong?

    Also, in his book Wall and Piece, Banksy said “copyright is for losers” and the public was morally and legally free to reproduce and use any public copyright works.

    I mean, according to his own words, I guess?

      Corporations don’t deserve that right. His stance on this is directly related to corporate abuse of the system. Nuance is difficult though so I understand why it’s easy for you to feel like you made a good point.

    I can’t say legally since I’m not a lawyer but I don’t think much of people who suggest you do (crime) because (crime) occurred. I consider it a low-end mentality to view that as a resolution or justice of some kind.

      I don’t think that it’s a resolution or justice, I think it’s funny ^^

        Not as funny as the fact that a person adept at using stencils to paint on other people’s property getting upset someone used his stenciling on their property, IMHO.

  Banksy is a complete fucking poser, true, but also shoplifting is good.

  If he had handled it the way normal people do, through courts

  There is more to it than that. He's been blocked from claiming the copyright on his own work since he'd need to dox himself. He can't claim the copyright as 'Banksy' since it's not his real name.

  It’s a joke.
