Banksy Fesses Up


According to an article in the UK's Telegraph, British street artist Banksy "stole" the name of his new film, "Exit Through the Gift Shop," from a lesser-known band. In order to compensate for his act (or at least avoid being sued), Banksy granted the band with an original painting, valued at £200,000. The band, who has since changed their name to "Brand Yourself," accepted the gift gratefully.
