     I love Banksy's work, and I think what he does is necessary. I am grateful to him.
     But if your art is graffiti, you are fair game, you can't break one law, and then complain about copywrite law being broken.

     @stevefoerster @greenpete @streetartutopia that's fair enough. Morally, people who break one law are not fair targets for all other crimes. One transgression does not put you outside of the protection of the law.

     @evan @greenpete @streetartutopia That seemed like a moral argument, not a legal one.

     @evan So you agree: it’s not okay to encourage shoplifting just because a store copied some art without permission.
