Read the May 3rd post at http://www.publicadcampaign.com/

It explains the difference between first-party signage and third-party signage. It sounds like this group had been targeting illegal third-party signage and that a certain company (NPA) had found an ingenious legal way to have third-party signage classified as first-party signage.

I like NPA's legal hack! Here's the direct permalink:

OTOH, a New Yorker once mentioned to me there were people (other than the property owner) who had de facto control over the 'flyposting' in certain areas; if you paid them, you could be sure your posters were up (and not covered by others). It seemed vaguely like a protection racket. Can anyone else confirm or refute that it sometimes works that way?
