Pretty certain it would fall under parody/satire so would be protected use, plus given that Banksy is well known around the world I don't see this staying under the radar at all given that the BBC has already covered it.
Plus all the commercialisation you suggest would pretty much be the antithesis of what the event sets out to poke fun at.
- joosters 11y agoUK parody laws are not the same as the US. For a start, there wasn't a clear parody defence until around October 2014: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-29408121 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-29408121 However, that law has since been (at least partially) quashed by recent court rulings: http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2015/jul/17/high-court-quashes-regulations-copy-cds-musicians http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2015/jul/17/high-court-qu... (It's unclear if the whole of the law is now revoked, or just the personal-use parts)
