'This book paints a rich picture of the meeting of street art and copyright law. It explores social norms within the subversive artistic community and the friction with external players. The chapters offer an eye-opening tour of urban spaces, and uncover the social and legal layers behind the city's biting art.' Michael Birnhack, University of Tel Aviv
