Abstract
This article explores the challenges of intellectual property in a digital world. Focusing on the work of Graffiti Research Lab (GRL), the article discusses how artists use open-source tools to resist corporate control of public space, but also how these same tools are often co-opted by the very systems they oppose. Through examples like LED throwies, Laser Tag, and Creative Commons licenses, the article examines the limits of current copyright models and the blurred lines between commercial and non-commercial use.
