ABSTRACT:
Art is a means of expressing oneself and one's identity and a tool for encouraging creativity. From painting on cave walls to painting on any wall, art has changed dramatically over time, all with the purpose of making cities more aesthetically pleasing and colourful to live in. Graffiti is contemporary art that is created on posts or the walls of buildings. Street art is regarded as a form of art with artistic merit and originality. It takes a lot of effort and skill. The object of choice for the representation of such abilities is typically a structure or boundary wall. Since street art is a tangible medium, it can be assumed that this is the surface. In our universe, property is a dependent fact. It neither follows a natural order nor is required for human survival. Therefore, the emergence of virtual worlds presents us with a wonderful chance to experiment with the legal ties, deals, and commitments that in the actual world are associated with the concept of property. Study also looks upon the author's copyright rights conflict with the owner's property rights. The article's goal is to inspect whether they qualify as imaginative works that are likely to be copyrighted?
