But, despite that, are you suggesting it's cool for Banksy to nick the style and technique of another artist because Banksy made people more aware of the person he stole from?

it's a type of graffiti that has been 'copied' several times by several artists all over the world. to say banksy 'stole' this is almost like saying Shakespeare 'stole' the premise of his stories..
i don't think Blek Le Rat ever entirely switched albums to make social statements, or did any of the other artwork that is so incredible to banksy? correct me if i am wrong
but hey, art right?
