New York Judge Awards $6.7 Million To 21 Graffiti Artists For Destroyed Murals

That the developer was rude and boorish, I won't argue. But since when have those traits become illegal? I love the art I saw at 5Pointz, but society has clearly gone off kilter when you are told you no longer have rights to maintain your property as you see fit.
From: The Communist Manifesto:
1. Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes.
 
Questioning myself. Just for fun, I looked up "verbal contracts" with regard to their validity under U.S. law. Check out the link. It could very well be argued that the idiot developer, in giving permission to the artists to paint, had a contract with them. Now, if the judge had ruled against the developer in the absence of a verbal contract, I would be fighting mad...
