What is meant by an author's right to the integrity of his or her work?

Back to Top

An author's right to the integrity of a work is infringed when, to the prejudice of the honour or reputation of the author, the work is

  • distorted, mutilated or otherwise modified; or
  • used in association with a product, service, cause, or institution.

An infringement of the integrity right may take place where a drawing is altered, or a screenplay is modified in a way that would damage the writer's reputation if the film was shown.
