When graffiti artist Jason Revok Williams saw his work being used by H&M to sell sportswear without his permission, he set out to defend his creation. He drew a lot of support from the art community.

To rewind, the fast fashion giant used Williams mural in Brooklyn as the backdrop for one of its ads without obtaining the artists OK, leading Williams to send the brand a cease-and-desist letter. In response, H&M filed a lawsuit that sent the artistic community into a tailspin, with many saying on social media that theyd be boycotting the Swedish retailer.

After HuffPost first posted this story on Thursday, H&M told us that it was dropping the lawsuit.

While its not clear legally whether H&M ever needed permission to feature the mural in its advertising, the art community sided with Williams claims of copyright infringement.

The ad for H&Ms New Routine sportswear line was filmed at the William Sheridan Playground handball court in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn and features a model doing a backflip off the wall on which Williams had painted graffiti.

Heres the mural, posted on Williams Instagram account:
