I saw cops hassling a woman in Toronto's tony Yorkville district for the same thing. Except she was writing some crazy-lady manifesto - a big long polemic on the road.

I asked the cops, out of curiosity, what the charge would be. He b.s.'d defacing public property. I said, but this isn't permanent (like in this vid), it washes right off. So he, wanting to "win", said "do you want to wash it off", to which I responded, uh, it's going to rain soon anyway."

Did he seriously try putting a copyright on his fucking chalk drawings?
That's like trying to copyright the bubble formations in the toilet after I piss.

I think the "copyright" is part of the art. I think it's a nice touch.

*doublepromote. I love this.

LMFAHS@MG. Yeah, the © is just a thing taggers do; it's usually just part of their signature.

Wish I was creative enough as a kid not to use paint. It was a different, more innocent time.
