Fighting for artist's rights-ongoing struggle of Drew
This ongoing struggle of Drew - an artist guy who simply recorded his arrest on his cellphone - is so important!
why was he arrested? Because he was trying to sell his little $1.00 art patches on State Street (and has in fact been working on the issue of free speech for a long while now) but the prosecution is trying to get him on the grounds that he had no right to record his arrest.
