In this lecture, I will explore the ethical foundations of copyright, particularly challenging the
common assumption that copyright is inherently beneficial for preserving and promoting all
forms of art. When applied to street art and other non-mainstream art practices, copyright
raises a moral dilemma that threatens their very essence. I argue that copyright inherently
commodifies the practices it governs. This in turn can undermine their fundamental nature. In the case of street art, it strips away its subversive character, transforming it from a radical
expression into a marketable product. By questioning the compatibility of copyright with the
identity of street art, I seek to highlight the risks of applying current copyright laws
indiscriminately to non-traditional art forms.
