Information wants to be free. Unless it's mine



is upset about intellectual property being inappropriately used.  A widely read quote attributed to the famed street artist Banksy in his 2004 book Cut It Out, appears to have been lifted from a piece of Tejaratchi's published in his zine Crap Hound back in 1999. 

You can read the original in the image above. Fuck trademarks, he says, basically. Fuck intellectual property and copyright laws. 

Unless they're his I guess? 

I agree with the sentiment entirely, because I re-approriated the image above from his zine from Gawker's re-using it on their blog for which they took information from here. I remixed all the information contained herein, however, so I think I'm good. Someone make a documentary about my artwork. 

The downside is that Banksy's name is always on it. Seeing my writing credited to someone else makes it a little less magical.

Oh word?
