  • Summary

    This chapter reveals that many street and graffiti artists have experienced being imitated, especially by corporate actors, and it also highlighting the anger felt by the artists at such appropriations. It explains that many of them look at copyright as a possible means to oppose these appropriating behaviours and show a certain degree of awareness of the legal tools offered by copyright laws to protect their artworks. While the chapter acknowledges that the prospect of relying on copyright does not constitute the trigger for the creative spark within these subculture and that many practitioners of these art forms tolerate non-commercial uses of their pieces, it reiterates their opposition to their unauthorised economic exploitation and willingness to oppose it through a copyright-based claim, even where their art is produced illegally.
