hmm I know this is a delicate topic to be discussed but if you read what is written above bearing in mind that the entertainment/advertising industry is not that old...

"You have to remember that it’s only a few hundred years, if that much, that artists are working with money." - F.F.Coppola http://the99percent.com/articles/6973/Francis-Ford-Coppola-O...

...you might get a different point of view of what it has been written by Banksy, at least what I gather is that money has become a big problem (it always has been), the entertainment/advertising industry is trying to push different laws all around the world, SOPA, PIPA, ACTA, to protect the current money making system, and it's not trying to evolve like the others...

He in my way of understanding is saying that they feel like entitled to put everything in front of your eyes to lure you with the sole purpose so that you will spend money even if those are things you don't necessarily need (but after you see them all around, you think you do).
