Alan Feuer, The New York Times; G.M. Used Graffiti in a Car Ad. Should the Artist Be Paid?
"The law, however, is struggling to catch up with
the change in taste and culture, especially when it comes to the issue of when
graffiti — an ephemeral form of art — deserves the safeguards of a copyright.
This month a federal judge in California will entertain exactly that question
as he hears oral arguments in a copyright lawsuit that could determine if
graffiti wins new protections, or if companies can use it for commercial
purposes without having to compensate the artists who create it."
