London against the Music

[Steven H]

Trouble in London! Illegal building site flyposting (photo example: Potsdamer Platz in Berlin) is driving the inhabitants of Camden and Westminster mad — they’re even calling it vandalism.

MTV, V2, BMG, Warner Music and die Mean Fiddler Group are said to be behind the problem. Westminster Council has already sent twelve written complaints to companies that have been caught plastering public areas with posters and flyers, mainly advertisements for singles and albums, over the past six months.

Now they could face charges as the council claims it is having to spend over €375,000 each year to remove these posters.
