  Is it not copyright infringement?

  Also I don’t believe in either but will happily use both to fuck over rich corpo pigs from commercialising my work without permission or compensation.

    No since Banksy doesn’t have any copyrights. Being anonymous has it downysides…

    So as far as I know he has neither copyright nor trademark to use. Not a fan of big companies either but Banksy is far away from impoverished.

  Did he ever say anything else about it? You can get banksy prints and other stuff featuring his artwork everywhere and they never seemed much bothered about it, maybe he just dislikes Guess
