As the open letter makes very clear - it was bad behaviour on the part of the agency, and Spike most likely didn't know it was going on (and the letter even suggests the agency was actively lying to him about it).
But - Spike is ultimately the one in control of the money-tap the agency is drinking from. While he had "absolutely nothing to do with this", it was no doubt done on his behalf, and he absolutely has the power to fix it. If he says "No, that's not how we do things", then it'll get fixed. (Arguably there are many other people below Spike who could also make that call, but I have some sympathy for the original poster - it would be a great deal of work if it's possible at all, to find out who in the middle management chain of command has sufficient authority to solve this problem and how to contact them directly.)
Unrealistic. He has the last word on the posters being choosen.
He already chose these posters, but was told that the guy asked for money.
It was his decision to rip him off.
He is the producer also.
Not that I know for sure, but I'd guess he had no idea where the agency got the artwork, whether they did it in-house, contracted it, stole it, or some combination.
This seems to be going over people's heads, so I'll leave this here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do_the_Right_Thing
I voted it down because these kind of dumb one-liner jokes are a waste of space.
He probably doesn't know what happened. The designer dealt with the agency, not Spike. That's why it's addressed to him.
The guy just got Bamboozled.
Like him or not, seems he had absolutely nothing to do with any of this.
Yes and no.

Have you actually seen the film? Doesn't really fit this pun.
