COPYRIGHT ACT 1968 - SECT 195AG

Acts of false attribution of authorship of altered literary, dramatic, musical or artistic work

             (1)  If the work is a literary, dramatic, musical or artistic work that has been altered by a person other than the author of the work, it is an act of false attribution in relation to the author of the work:

                     (a)  to deal with the work as so altered, as being the unaltered work of the author; or

                     (b)  to deal with a reproduction of the work as so altered, as being a reproduction of the unaltered work of the author;

if, to the knowledge of the attributor, it is not the unaltered work or a reproduction of the unaltered work, as the case may be, of the author.

             (2)  Subsection (1) does not apply if:

                     (a)  the effect of the alteration is insubstantial; or

                     (b)  the alteration was required by law to be made, or was otherwise necessary to avoid a breach of any law.
