What's this?

You're implying the artist has squatters' rights. I don't think so.

Squatters rights attach if the squatters actually occupy the property without a lease agreement or paying rent. I don't think the art itself qualifies as occupying the property. The property owner still had use of the warehouse.

I'll tell you what, though... if I'm a property owner with graffiti on it, I'm washing it off ASAFP before anyone can object to it. I'll assert my property rights from the very first tag to keep something like that from happening.
