Webinar on GRAFFITI AND COPYRIGHT by Dr. Enrico Bonadio.

About the Organiser
The Legal Aid Society, Campus Law Centre, University of Delhi aims to provide legal aid to the fellow citizens who cannot afford professional legal services and also look forward to championing those public causes for which adequate support is still lacking. The society has always been a rock-steady pillar of support for those who require legal assistance in any field of law. The progress made by the society in this arena has been due to the strenuous efforts put in by the students, professors and lawyers who are inspired by the motto of National Legal Services Authority (NALSA)- ‘Access to Justice for all’.
 
About the Webinar
Legal Aid Society of Campus Law Centre, University of Delhi, cordially invites you to an International Webinar on GRAFFITI AND COPYRIGHT by Dr. Enrico Bonadio.
 
We hope to draw the attention of law students and practitioners to how Graffiti is generally no longer considered to be a work of vandalism or an act of destruction of public property. Instead, it has become a marketable commodity, with some fashion labels and major corporations even using it in their advertising campaigns. However, graffiti's legal status as art has not been established, which has raised a number of issues concerning its commercial use and begs the question of whether it can be protected by copyright.
