I want to learn about theoretical/alternative graffiti laws that respect the subjective nature of the art.
I want to find web page/site(s) or forums that explicitly layout theoretical laws for dealing with graffiti/street art or that tell about real laws or bills that are different from normal anti-graffiti laws in that they promote public decision as to the worth of graffiti before removal. I can't understand why such an obviously subjective issue isn't being solved in a way that allows work its own subjective judging. This is for a paper due Thursday (2/12/09), so some urgency would be appreciated. Thanks.

• Meh. It's an answer. I didn't have very high expectations anyway.

I've been looking for *days* and now it's due tomorrow. T-T I'd love to learn about supreme court cases that resulted in a middle ground style of graffiti prosecution. Or a custom of graffiti artists in certain areas that allow for public opinions to decide if an artwork should be done fullsize on a given surface. (Such as placing a miniature picture of the work in the area and a ballot box next to it.)
In my law school classes, I do not recall reading anything about "permitted graffiti." Now, you might look into the idea of permit-based street art, as hinted in the wikipedia article above. Because we live in a legalistic culture, the definitional differences between "graffiti" (which is automatically negative and likely illegal) versus "street art" are likely to be important.
