Camden spends ca £250,000 a year scraping posters of Beyoncé, George Michael, Avril and the likes from the walls, windows, letterboxes and even statues. If Camden is succeful with their suit which will be heard next month, the executives could face up to five years in jail.
It's not just record companies that use fly posters, Nissan, Nike and Volkswagen have been at it, while Mates condoms put stickers with the words I shagged here on nearly any available flat surface.

"But I do think that the idea of not going after small nightclubs and the like but larger established companies is a good one. The same goes for naming and shaming not only the companies but their senior executives.
"Very often, senior people claim they don't know it's been happening - that the PR company or a promotions manager was responsible. This means it's no longer an excuse to say 'I didn't know'."
