Painting Political Graffiti With Light

Johnny Fusion writes "American Graffiti has found an interesting way to plaster political messages across large buildings and doing no damage. They use light. The website is a little vague on the technology involved. The front page refers to the projection as a "light board", and the press release says they use high-powered digital projectors. The end result is a 40' x 120' billboard of light that is even less permanent than a bicycle spraying chalk messages. Despite the name, George Lucas has nothing to do with it, so you can be assured that the slogans will not be retroactively changed after the election."

What's the point of lighting up an empty parking lot and near-empty streets? Not very brave, these guys... If they did it on the White House, I'd be impressed.

I'm not an American, so I wonder about the following points: What would happen to these guys if they got 'caught'? What laws would they be breaking?

I wonder if there are any laws regarding taking a projector and showing a publically released movie perhaps on the White House? Say Fahrenheit 9/11, if it were to be publically released.

I'm real curious about the laws concerning this. It's true that it doesn't leave damage, but still, you're trespassing on someone's property with light.
