Graffiti: Free speech or vandalism?

Is a graffiti art ot is it a crime? It's a simple question with a simple answer.

Designer Marc Ecko was backing a graffiti case against New York City. In New York , seven young artists - backed by fashion designer Marc Ecko - filed a law suit against New York City over its strict anti-graffiti law. The law, which took effect in 2007, bans people under 21 from possessing spray paint or broad-tipped markers. The artists say the law violates their constitutional right to free speech.

In my opinion graffiti is a crime but is also art because there are many artists who just try to express their feelings but there are also many immature vandals seeking notoriety and at its worst is messages between rival gangs and drug dealers.
