CULTURE VULTURES ARE TRYING TO KILL REAL WILDPOSTING
Real Wildposting is a culture, with mostly artists hitting the street with your brand. Save the culture and destroy companies that offer managed sites, or dedicated sites. Any site without a permit or OAC number attached to it, is just a canvas for wildposting, and not enforceable by these frauds.
