Summary

In this chapter I expand on whether and to what extent UK copyright law is capable of regulating street and graffiti art. There has been thus far no reported decision by British courts on copyright protection of these forms of art. This is also probably due to the fact that disputes are often settled out-of-court before a complaint is filed or a decision is reached. After all, this seems to be the rule in most cases regarding art. The chapter focuses on the following selected aspects: (i) requirements for copyright protection; (ii) authorship and ownership; (iii) moral rights; (iv) freedom of panorama exception; and (v) illegally created works.
