Banksy doesn’t want anyone to be profiting from his own work and he has every right to do so if copyright is used. Why would that mean he should accept their royalty offer? They can just stick to nature photos on their cards. How rich Banksy is nothing to do with this.

What the card company is doing is to take advantage of his desire to be anonymous and make money from his work.

I think you mean Banksy doesn’t want anybody but himself profiting off his work. Agreed, that’s his right through copyright. But he refuses to use it. That’s the whole point of the article.

The other point is that Banksy is lying about this small business and what they are doing. This is an objective fact. He claims they sued him. They didn’t. He claims they are a big corporation. They aren’t.
