An art law angle at the World Cup:
"Two Austrian performance artists have been arrested for placing concrete-filled footballs in parts of Berlin during the World Cup with signs inviting people to kick them. Two unwitting passers-by sustained foot injuries as a result of the stunt . . . . Police said they had arrested two men, aged 26 and 29, who had set up a workshop in western Berlin where they made the real-looking footballs and signs reading 'Can u kick it?' The men are part of an Austrian art group called 'Mediengruppe LM/N' which devised the project 'Concrete Soccer' . . . ."
They now face charges of "causing bodily harm, dangerous interference with traffic and causing injury through recklessness." Story here from Spiegel Online.
