News stories and media on artists and buskers rights

This is a compilation of all the news stories I have found and used over the years to fight for my rights as a artist/busker in San Diego.

Learning much of these stories and information I have been giving has helped me fight for buskers rights in San Diego, as well as helped me to educate buskers and even Leo's in San Diego about busker and artist rights. I have accomplished many changes in San Diego making it a very busker friendly city, yet the battle is still not done...  We are getting closer though...

If you have an article on buskers rights you feel belongs here please contact me at merlinawakend@yahoo.com and send me the article....
