Not legal i know !

What happens to the companies that have their adverts etc illegally . Are they held responsible of the people they pay to "Hang them " ?

About 10 years ago, Westminster Council got a landmark ruling against Sony BMG.
The long-standing claim was that it was the posters, not the Client, who broke the law. Westminster Council convinced the court that Sony BMG knew damned well what was happening. They got an injunction, or quite possibly an ASBO.

But this is from distant memory. I don't know whether it went to appeal, or what impact it has had on fly posting.

there are 2 reasons i ask this question. It seems that most music events now are advertised "fly" what happens if the council says they will remove the license for the event if any posters are "fly posted" ?

my second reason is i think i might have worked out a very very cool way to provide advertising to one of the biggest audiences in London and could make a few ££ Just want to learn more about what type of customers would take the risk !
