Art Wanted, by Rouen Cathedral on Jul 12, 2017 23:09:46 GMT 1, Many artists including Banksy have copied images from other more famous artists work, so isn't that also "profiting of someone else's artwork without permission" No. It's not even slightly boardering on the same. Appropriation of images to create something new, or parody it, doesn't compare to simply making copies and selling them. It's disgraceful.
Unless that's the art.
I can see it now banksy would do this same thing call it a concept and art and his fans would fawn over it! 100% guaranteed!

Art Wanted, by Deleted on Jul 12, 2017 23:38:29 GMT 1, I'd be willing to bet that anyone who is bitter about WCP probably spent 20k on a Banksy print or owns a few as a nest egg one day. That being said. I think WCP is a damn genius. I have a few different businesses one being a salon/studio with the wife. Have a couple WCP prints framed up on the walls. I even have one framed up in the waiting room of my car repair shop. People love them! WCP puts out a top notch print at a good price. If you love the image and want it on your wall without mortgaging your house then do it!! So if someone set up a hair salon round the corner and named it virtually the same name as your salon is called and poached your clients. They would be a genius?
People like counterfeit Louis Vuitton man bags. I see lots of oiks with their fake Adidas and sports gear, strutting their stuff with their counterfeit Gucci or Vuitton etc. Lots of people like those too.

Art Wanted, by avec art on Jul 12, 2017 23:42:51 GMT 1, someone in the UK copied my printing house name printcave, and called themselves 'the printcave'. v.sad (it comes just after me as no.2 on a google ranking), I don't really mind too much because I've changed my name to artcave. But even so, it's a bit silly ... they're probably on here ... come on own up

Art Wanted, by Deleted on Jul 12, 2017 23:49:36 GMT 1, I bet there's also a few out there who have bought WCP in the hope that he's really Banksy, like some big elaborate hoax 100% there is a fair few who think WCP has had some sort of private nod of approval from Banksy, beleiving banksy likes the little guys so much he has decided to let them buy his screen prints for low bucks via WCP. Because thats the sort of thing Banksy would do.
From Banksy website "Banksy is NOT on Facebook, Twitter or represented by Steve Lazarides or any other commercial gallery."
So I guess Banksy is not represented by WCP in any shape or form and it's up to WCP to prove otherwise regarding the statement that these prints are just "counterfeit" Banksy prints.
They are not original artworks in their own right. People are only buying them because they are copies of Banksy prints.
It's not too hard to find out if they are authorised. The people who represent Banksy are in the phone book and it's easy to send a WCP print to Pest Control for example and ask them to confirm it is authentic

Art Wanted, by Deleted on Jul 13, 2017 0:01:21 GMT 1, It is. Does that justify you profiting from intellectual property theft? Not defending WCP here or giving an opinion one way or the other but are Banksy images actually copyrighted??? If so to who? If to Banksy he would have to physically show up in court to defend it, which seems unlikely, right? I'm not sure any of the images actually are. The art is automatically copyrighted when it is made and when it is put online for example.
There is some obscure law in some parts of europe where any illegal art as in stencils or graffiti etc made on property without permission is not considered protected by copyright or given copyright status.
Banksy would not have to physically show up in court and could still pursue someone through court. If Microsoft or Volkswagen etc decided to take someone to court for copyright infringement. I doubt Bill gates would have to attend and Microsoft or VW would just send their representatives.
Even so, if it was all about Banksy having to turn up in court and deciding that to preserve his anonimity he takes no legal action against WCP. It still is not giving authorisation to WCP.

Art Wanted, by Deleted on Jul 13, 2017 0:07:59 GMT 1, Coincidence that they're paying to advertise at the top of the forum? We really promoting this stuff now? Everyone has an opinion and makes their own choices in what they buy. This site is not here to tell you what's good, bad, wrong, right, it's here to allow you all to share information so you can make your own decisions. If for example someone decided to reproduce all of Banksy's screenprints exactly but change all the heads including rats and peoples heads in banksy's prints to Hitlers head. Would they be OK to sell on this forum?

The laws you referring to are probably in reference to photographs of illegal street art. In that context, the art may not be protected. But that would have no bearing on any prints made by the same artists.
As far as defending his copyrights in court, he would have to appear as he owns the copyrights. In the case of corporations, the corporation owns the copyrights, not the individual who founded the company.
I think it goes without saying, you can't sue someone anonymously.

He came out fine in the Cariou case no?
Has the recent things been settled?
But he if it was banksy I'm sure it would be different. Heck he opened a hotel and people claimed it the greatest piece of art!

Art Wanted, by Deleted on Jul 13, 2017 0:24:34 GMT 1, i guess they can track who the sold it to - in case someone was trying to pass it off as genuine... I mean there appears to be a WCP version /200 but then also a WCP version not numbered. Were the numbered ones released first and then they decided to just start making non numbered ones? Nothing to do with WCP but there have been a few sales on Ebay of Banksy prints where the description stated they were backdoor prints and sold without any proof of authentication.

Well those people are the criminals then.
Everyone who owns a banksy or discredits WCP say the comparisons aren't close. Yet I don't think I've ever seen anyone prove the accusation of them being so poor

Art Wanted, by avec art on Jul 13, 2017 0:32:48 GMT 1, apart from the slightly dodgy colours, I don't think they are that poor. But it's obvious that if you take a scan from a genuine print, and then create new acetates from that scan that a lot of the finer detail will be lost. Like most of the finer spray you see in genuine prints is just not there.

Art Wanted, by Deleted on Jul 13, 2017 0:38:27 GMT 1, Law and ethics are two different things. But please do explain how banksy can use the flags image but an artist couldn't use his girl with balloon to create their art. Under copyright law, artists are allowed to use existing artwork in their art as long as the message is changed in some way โ often through social satire or a political statement. Banksy often uses existing art as a reference point, but changes the meaning of the work significantly. This is considered fair use. What you're not allowed to do is create an exact or nearly exact reproduction of another artist's work and offer it for sale. In the case of girl with balloon, another artist could use that as inspiration so long as they modify it in a way that creates new meaning. People could just do their own version of a girl with a balloon. A girl with a balloon has been produced by artists since at least 1905

Art Wanted, by Deleted on Jul 13, 2017 0:55:56 GMT 1, I guess as the saying goes. It's up to Banksy regarding allowing people to sell unauthorised copies or counterfeit Banksy screen prints whover they might be now or in the future.
I'm using the Wikipedia defintion of the word counterfeit. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counterfeit
"To counterfeit means to imitate something. Counterfeit products are fakes or unauthorised replicas of the real product."
If the word "copy" is used then it would depend if the "copy" is authorised or not authorised. I guess they are not authorised hence having the WCP stamp on the back of the prints.
So basically if WCP is selling these copies ? On this forum.
If another member decided to do the same and sell their own copies on this forum for half the price of the WCP copies.
They would be allowed to sell them on here too ?

I think Monet is out of copyright now. Unlike Banksy art which is still in copyright and will be for many years. Which is what gives the images value.

Nope. Don't see a vacation to the West Bank in my future.

I'm not sure any of the images actually are. ย The art is automatically copyrighted when it is made and when it is put online for example. ย There is some obscure law in some parts of europe where any illegal art as in stencils or graffiti etc made on property without permission is not considered protected by copyright or given copyright status. ย Banksy would not have to physically show up in court and could still pursue someone through court. If Microsoft or Volkswagen etc decided to take someone to court for copyright infringement. I doubt Bill gates would have to attend and Microsoft or VW would just send their representatives. ย Even so, if it was all about Banksy having to turn up in court and deciding that to preserve his anonimity he takes no legal action against WCP. It still is not giving authorisation to WCP. ย
I thought Banksy was deadset against copyrighting any of his work? Also he copied a Tesco soup can and sold it so I don't think stealing or people stealing his work is high up his care list.

Art Wanted, by chainsaw on Jul 13, 2017 14:21:06 GMT 1, Thank you happyshopper
A huge difference up close, wcp looks like a series of plain stencils, the banksy one has more tonal variety with fewer colours and uses graduations and spray/effects within the stencil layers.
If I wanted one on my wall it would have to be either a photo of one or a WCP copy though, as I can't afford the prices of a genuine one.
