Brave protest. Pretty sure Nazi imagery is illegal in Germany. Somebody correct me if I’m wrong
Freedom of art in that regard. The only illegal thing might be to project something to the factory
Is that a thing in Germany? Genuinely asking
Yes. You can even use a swastika if the intend is clear. For example a figure throwing it into a trashcan.
I'm not a lawyer, but the word "Heil" ist not forbidden and Also its a picture of something relevant that happened. So in my opinion the Art itself is not illegal. Only the projection onto the building.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Appreciate the insight!
You're welcome :)
Nope it's legal. §303 StGB:
Projections are far from permanent. What I'm blanking on right now is whether cleaning something is captured under that wording, I vaguely remember them discussing changing it, dunno if they have. If a wall is dirty enough you can make a great graffito with nothing but a pressure washer.
A projection is not permanent mate.
And what do you think it is that I said?
~~You say it could be illegal and then quote a law that talks about sometime else. I have no idea why you would do that.~~
Oh sorry I misread legal as illegal. My bad.
That is what he said yes.
