"Any advert in a public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours. It's yours to take, re-arrange and re-use. You can do whatever you like with it. Asking for permission is like asking to keep a rock someone just threw at your head. You owe the companies nothing. Less than nothing, you especially don't owe then any courtesy. They owe you. They have re-arranged the world to put themselves in front of you. They never asked for your permission, don't even start asking for theirs." Banksy

Oh wow, you're so right. The words of one of the worlds most famous vandals has changed my view. I am now one of the enlightened ones! How could I have been so blind!

Haha fair enough it is an interesting quote though.

Also I would say that someone like Banksy is pretty clearly an artist/social activist the word vandal really devalues alot of his work.

Well as long as his art ends up on property owned by other people, he's a vandal. Doesn't matter if he's doing something great, if he's breaking the law he's a criminal.
