In January 2018, Jason REVOK William’s lawyer sent to H&M, the Swedish clothing company, a cease-and-desist letter. 1 By writing to the brand’s representatives, the lawyer was lamenting the unauthorized use of one of REVOK’s iconic pieces in H&M’s recent ad-campaign. In the photoshoot, a graffiti that REVOK illegally painted on a wall of a handball court in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, appeared as a backdrop. The LA based artist requested H&M to stop sharing the photoshoot on social media and demanded compensation. H&M rejected REVOK’s requests and refused to settle. In a surprising turn of event, the company filed a lawsuit against the artist claiming that the illegal nature of his work excludes it from copyright protection. 2 After public backlash, H&M withdrew the lawsuit and settled the dispute out of court.
