I invite you to check out http://illegalbillboards.org if you want to get involved on the legal side.

The joke about the art was just that, a joke. But the truth is that the person whining about "organized crime" shouldn't be a petty criminal if he wants any sympathy or support to his cause. Just makes him look like a huge hypocrite.</p> I couldn’t agree more. The joke about the art was just that, a joke.

The quality of art is subjective, other people might like it. And the crime is relatively minor compared with the millions of dollars at stake with the advertising industry.
