Vandalism is the willful destruction or defacement of private or public property. Regardless of the artistic merit (of which there is much) or the message (which is often thought-provoking), Banksy is engaging in vandalism, with the exception of those times where he has been given permission.

The definition is quite immovable.

That said, I very much enjoy his work, as do many people (civil authorities included). It is a difficult line to draw, and I am ill-at-ease to proclaim any kind of conclusion as far as this being a bad thing, just as much as I have issue with justification of this behavior.

The two things that I feel I can say as fact is that these works are by and large illegal, and that they are things of great beauty.

Sigh.

I think its slightly ironic how it’s okay for him to graffiti walls because its “smart” while at the same time its an outrage when somebody graffitis his work
