  • Summary

    Street art in Australia is not only an important part of urban Australian culture but also a serious commercial business and a part of government urban planning in metropolitan areas. It is both legally recognised and encouraged by sophisticated government policies but those policies have surprisingly little to say directly about copyright. Graffiti is usually defined as unlawful because it is done on public or private property without permission and there is no general legal freedom to paint on public or private property surfaces without express or implied permission. It is discouraged by not enjoying legal protection and being the subject of considerable adverse commentary.
