Under the Copyright Act creators are now entitled to:

• to be named and identified as the creator of the work, (the right of attribution);
• to not have their work attributed to someone else (false attribution); and
• to stop others making changes to their work or treating their work in any way which might harm their honour or reputation (the right of integrity).

In general moral rights apply to all literary, dramatic, musical and artistic works and films, which are protected by copyright.

How might you infringe moral rights in your schoolwork? Here are the most likely ways:

• By not identifying the creator in any work that you reproduce, exhibit or transmit.
• By falsely attributing the work to someone other than the creator.
• By treating a work in a derogatory way, that is doing something that damages the creator’s reputation such as distorting, mutilating or altering the work.

Of course it is not an infringement of moral rights when the creator has consented to actions that would otherwise be considered an infringement.
