Vancouver orders removal of anti-Olympic mural
,----[ Quote ]
| The city of Vancouver has ordered the removal
| of a mural hanging outside a Downtown
| Eastside gallery depicting the Olympic rings
| as four sad faces and one smiley face.
|
| The gallery says in 10 years, it has never
| before been asked to remove any work.
|
| The city issued the order under its graffiti
| bylaw, but it comes in the wake of a debate
| over a controversial city sign bylaw that
| opponents feared would allow officials to
| stifle anti-Olympic expression.

An Update on the International Olympic Committeeâs Threatening Letter to Flickr User Richard Giles
,----[ Quote ]
| Among other things, the IOC noted that
| âany reproduction and distribution of
| images of the Olympic Games and IOC
| identifications by any means, including
| over the World Wide Web, without the
| consent of the IOC is unauthorized.â They
| further claimed ownership over the Olympic
| rings and actually over the word
| âOlympics,â itself. Perhaps most offensive
| to me personally, the IOC had written in
| their heavy handed letter to Giles that
| any images of the Olympic Games actually
| âbelongedâ to the IOC.
