Comment on Legal row could finally force mystery artist Banksy to reveal his real name

Hmmm, this sounds like click bait. No way a suit over authenticity is going to force an identity reveal.

Yep, just a suit over a group responsible for verification dragging their feet.

The group responsible for verification is Bansky’s company

No argument here, but it’s point of existence (besides profit) is to shield that identity. There’s no future outside of Everything Everywhere All At Once where this suit leads to a forced identity reveal. Worst case for that company is a settlement.

Yeah, the whole “anonymous artist” is the bullshit bit.
It really wouldn’t be hard to track down who it is. And he’s either honest on his taxes or a criminal.
Might not be published knowledge, but people know.
The people at the company absolutely know.

Are you saying Banksy is just a profit-seeking endeavor?
