- sophacles 2y agoGallagher is the asshole. Do you think he'd allow me to start making and selling a Full Colour Black greeting cards despite: They(Gallagher's company/lawyers) added that the artist owning the trademark is “problematic for the industry [because it] allows Pest Control to flex their muscles in a way that is potentially unfair for competition.” being his position? I don't think Banksy is being a hypocrite - one can be critical of the rules while still following them. Gallagher is being very rude - in fact trying to pass of your own work as someone else's without their permission to fraudulently sell it for more money has a name: Forgery. It's so rude it's illegal.
