Files of TVBoy street art in Italy

[edit]
These images are of street art found in Italy, a country that does not permit COM:FOP. I am nominating them separately to other files in the relevant category because of a statement by TVBoy that may be relevant, found in this recent (December 2022) article (archive link):
Original:

Otro debate a tener en cuenta es el de la propiedad de las obras. TVBoy pone un ejemplo con algo que le sucedió con uno de sus murales. "Lo pinté en una estructura de una gasolinera abandonada. De la noche a la mañana, se la llevaron porque el propietario quería hacer algo con ello. Un año más tarde me pidieron permiso para subastarla. Les dije que no necesitaban mi permiso porque era de ellos pero sí que les pedí que si querían que yo firmase conforme la obra era mía, dieran a cambio el dinero obtenido a la beneficencia. No quisieron. A día de hoy, en términos generales, el propietario de la pared tiene más derecho sobre la obra que el propio autor intelectual. Y esto es algo que podría cambiar en un futuro".

English translation:

Another debate to take into account is that of the ownership of the works. TVBoy gives an example with something that happened to him with one of his murals. "I painted it on a structure of an abandoned gas station. Overnight, it was taken away because the owner wanted to do something with it. A year later they asked my permission to auction it. I told them that they did not need my permission because it was theirs, but I did offer that if they wanted me to sign the work as mine, they would give the money obtained to charity in exchange. They did not want that. Today, generally speaking, the owner of the wall has more right over the work than the mastermind himself. And this is something that could change in the future".

This is, TVBoy seemingly does not claim rights to his work, so they may not need to be considered under Italian FOP law. Other cases have noted the legal grey area of graffiti, that artists struggle to uphold copyright because it makes them liable for vandalism or the like, so TVBoy's views may be alluding to that. (Note that other files in the TVBoy category depict street art in Spain, a country with broad FOP laws, so no issues there in any case.) --Kingsif (talk) 10:29, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Kept: None of these are murals in my opinion, and fit the legal definition of grafiti. TVboy (marker) and TVboy (spray) as the more obvious examples of unauthorized street art. --Abzeronow (talk) 16:42, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
