United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
Thanks. I was wondering if this was old news or had happened again.
There must be top-post bots working through old Reddit posts.
Nice, stealing from multinational conglomerates is never morally wrong and should always be encouraged.
But think of the shareholders!
Now that's just silly. You should be stealing from any store that has a "collection" regardless of whether they used his art.
Don't need encouragement, but the thoughts appreciated.
I definitely wouldn't get a Flipper Zero for the purposes of theft. Allegedly it is a legal device that can be re-programmed to disable security tags and open charging ports on Tesla vehicles, which is wrong.
Definitely do not purchase a Flipper Zero and utilize it for theft or disruption. Its purposes are to open garage doors.
Will he pay their legal fees if someone gets arrested?
No, but Elon Musk will promise to pay your legal fees then double back on it.
I'm from the UK and I have no idea who Guess even are, so they can't be that big of a deal. I won't support them anyway... if I ever see them haha.
Doesn't Banksy's entire schtick hang on "helping himself" to a "canvas?"
There’s a legitimate discussion to be had about whether not he should be doing that, but to compare it to a multinational corporation profiting off of clothes depicting his work without his permission is pretty disingenuous.
This is not me saying people should go shoplift nor is it me saying that Banksy isn’t a whiner.
Also visit other stores as well 🫡
Banksy believing in intellectual property 🏴☠️
Is it not copyright infringement?
Also I don't believe in either but will happily use both to fuck over rich corpo pigs from commercialising my work without permission or compensation.
Based. Shoplift everywhere else too, especially the supermarkets.
