You owe the companies nothing. You especially don't owe them any courtesy. They have re-arranged the world to put themselves in front of you. They never asked for your permission, don't even start asking for theirs.

More quotes by Banksy
Fight the fighters, not their wars.
Banksy
Nothing is black and white, and there is no purity and there is no such thing has justice.
Banksy
Graffiti ultimately wins out over proper art because it becomes part of your city, it' s a tool I'll meet you in that pub, you know, the one opposite that wall with a picture of a monkey holding a chainsaw. I mean, how much more useful can a painting be than that?
Banksy
On Painting Rats, and the Glorification of Them. They exist without permission. They are hated, hunted and persecuted. They live in quiet desperation amongst the filth. And yet they are capable of bringing entire civilizations to their knees. If you are dirty, insignificant, and unloved then rats are the ultimate role model.
Banksy
Bus stops are far more interesting and useful places to have art than in museums.
Banksy
Keep your coins, I want change.
Banksy
This is a big surprise I don't agree with the concept of award ceremonies, but I'm prepared to make an exception for the ones I'm nominated for. The last time there was a naked man covered in gold paint in my house, it was me.
Banksy
A lot of mothers will do anything for their children, except let them be themselves.
Banksy
Nothing in the world is more common than unsuccessful people with talent, leave the house before you find something worth staying in for.
Banksy
Although you might have to creep about at night and lie to your mum it’s actually one of the more honest art forms available. There is no elitism or hype, it exhibits on the best walls a town has to offer and nobody is put off by the price of admission.
Banksy
All artists are willing to suffer for their work. But why are so few prepared to learn to draw?
Banksy
My lawyer's opinion is that the cops might not actually be able to charge me with criminal damage any more - because theoretically my graffiti actually increases the value of property rather than decreasing it. That's his theory, but then my lawyer also believes wearing novelty cartoon ties is a good look.
Banksy
There are four basic human needs food, sleep, sex and revenge.
Banksy
Should # graffiti be judged on the same level as modern art? Of course not: It's way more important than that
Banksy
We can't do anything to change the world until capitalism crumbles. In the meantime we should all go shopping to console ourselves.
Banksy
It's a very frustrated feeling you get when the only people with good photos of you work are the police department.
Banksy
Live as a villain, die as a hero
Banksy
Graffiti is only dangerous in the mind of three types of people politicians, advertising executives and graffiti writers.
Banksy
I mean, they say you die twice. One time when you stop breathing and a second time, a bit later on, when somebody says your name for the last time.
Banksy
I am unable to comment on who may or may not be Banksy, but anyone described as 'good at drawing' doesn't sound like Banksy to me.
