Individual creators have rights called “moral rights”, whether or not they own copyright. These are the rights to:

• be attributed as the creator of their work;
• take action if their work is falsely attributed as being someone else’s work or is altered by someone else but attributed as if it were unaltered; and
• take action if their work is distorted or treated in a way that is prejudicial to their honour or reputation.
