Can you point out specific examples of this 'art done by anonymous street artists' that he is 'selling'? I don't think you can. Neither the "Le" meme, the concept of "rage comics" nor the texts that have made "Good Guy Greg" into a 'good guy' have been made by a particular person in any of these communities.
You don't actually know what his towers were going to defend and it seems he was hiring artists to render instances of these memes to be defended. That there are individuals who are offended has nothing to do with 'their' content being ripped off. In fact, I doubt any of these people that send 'hatemail' ever were part of the initial creation of a meme. I doubt they ever put any effort into creating a reproduction of a meme, more than surfing to a website and entering a text that was automatically placed over an image. These people are just assholes and you shouldn't defend them.
