Excerpt:
Banksy isn’t happy with Guess’ latest collaboration.
The legendary anonymous graffiti artist had a directive for his followers on Friday, encouraging them—possibly tongue in cheek, possibly not—to visit the Regent Street Guess store in London and steal the brand’s new collection that features his artwork.
“Attention all shoplifters. Please go to Guess on Regents Street. They’ve helped themselves to my artwork without asking, how can it be wrong for you to do the same to their clothes?”

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.

Yes.
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.

Not as funny as a person adept at using stencils to paint on other people’s property getting upset someone used his stenciling on their property, IMHO.
Or maybe the ultimate troll artist, is fucking trolling. Perhaps making a joke about stealing their stuff because they stole his.
Perhaps. He’s super-clever like that.
Imagine obliquely calling someone basic when you had to have their point explained
Jesus Christ you are a moron.
Ok.
Yep, quacks like a Nazi.
The motherfucker is a stooge of the system man! Probably got more lawyers than John Gotti lol.

I support it if it’s what the people want.
As I support a company’s right to use the likeness of illegal graffiti on their clothing.
So you’re a bootlicker? A fascist? You honestly prioritize corporate profits over public art? Fuck you.
Well that escalated quickly
Ok.
