This case note examines Kochba v Dahan Peretz, the first Israeli court decision affirming full copyright protection for street art, even when created without property owner consent. The Tel Aviv-Yafo Magistrate’s Court found that unauthorised commercial reproduction of murals infringed both economic and moral rights, rejecting defenses based on public display and illegality. The ruling establishes a significant precedent, confirming that street artists retain exclusive rights and moral protections, deterring future commercial exploitation of public artworks.
