Umm, isn’t Banksy’s entire career centered around helping himself to others property without asking permission?
I’m honestly confused if he is using this display to advance his subversive messaging or if he is upset that he is the one being subverted.
As far as I know, he doesn’t make money from that. He gets publicity from street art, but it’s not like someone is paying for it —at least, they aren’t paying for it to be created, but many will pay more for it after.
Banksy

All I see are two companies.

Banksy is overrated sentimental trash and I will die on this hill. Also yeah it’s a money making cooperative, not a single artist
Also aren’t a few of his(their) pieces literally made of collages of other people’s art?
That’s fair use. Using small parts of something to create something new. It’s transformative in nature.
How did this play out?

No joke…very witty.
You have a low bar.
wait wait wait wait … if I vandalize property, do I get intellectual property rights over the creation?? Or even ignoring the legal aspect, do I get moral rights to the creation? Not sure I have the balls to make that claim.
How is creating a work of art by an artist of worldwide renown on an ugly bare concrete wall vandalism? If it in some way affected the utility or even the aesthetics, you might have a point. But trying to make a crime out of improving public spaces through art is just silly.
