Even though the city has given the CIM Group over $28 million in financial aid for the past few years for redevelopment projects, they are allowing illegal supergraphics and billboards on their properties in Hollywood. The city agreed last year to let them have three supergraphics--currently there are six. Additionally, the agreement included taking down two billboards that are still up.
The CIM Group had no comment to the LA Times in a report about them. They only would release a statement, deflecting responsibility to the billboard company they allow and most likely share profit to sell and install the advertising : "CIM is not a party to or involved with the lawsuit between SkyTag Inc. and the city of Los Angeles, and therefore does not have any comment."
However, in another illegal supergraphic case, the individual building owners and the company are facing 23 criminal charges each.

Advertising?
In Hollywood????
You don't say.......
Man, get over it. Supergraphics are the future of advertising in LA!
Will anyone ever do jail time for "commerically tagging" a building? I doubt it.
Until the commercial real estate market settles, and tenants begin leasing again, expect to see supergraphics in more places.
The owners have to recoup some of the money they've lost from tenants leaving.
Eventually, we'll start hearing people complain about digital supergraphics on buildings.
That Resistance one is sickkkkk!!!
Seriously. Resistance 2 rocks.
We need a lot of people to (spontaneously?) band together and boycott/protest whatever is being advertised on these things.
They'll stop when it becomes counter-productive (and/or whenever there are serious repercussions for putting these up (fines, prosecution, etc..)...
