Your comment on Hoop's journal was key for me in putting this in perspective. There are really three analytic aspects to Fairey's art, which does make it really interesting to talk about. There's the art-crit angle, the legal angle and the social justice angle - which to some degree dovetail in my mind but can also be highly divergent. Which is part of the reason I'm loving this discussion, because there are so many different ways to explore it.
