I don't have much problem with this approach for his street art. That's criminal in its very conception... so there is no point quibbling about who "owns" an image as copyright doesn't apply to a criminal act. but t-shirts surely are another question...I also doubt he spends much time on the t-shirt end of his business... probably got a bunch of art students chained to desk looking for images to swipe.
