The author of an authorial work has the moral right not to have an altered copy of the work represented as being unaltered.

(iii)

distributes an altered copy of the work as being unaltered; and

(b)

the person knows that —

the copy is an altered copy; and

(ii)

the alteration is not made by the author.

In the case of a work of joint authorship —

any infringement of the right in subsection (1) is an infringement of each joint author’s right; and

(b)

the reference to the author in subsection (2)(b) is a reference to all the joint authors.

In this section, “copy”, in relation to a work, includes the work itself.
