195AE Acts of false attribution of authorship of artistic work
This section applies if the work is an artistic work.
It is an act of false attribution in relation to the author of the work:
to insert or affix, or to authorise the inserting or affixing of, a person’s name in or on the work, or in or on a reproduction of the work, or to use, or to authorise the use of, a person’s name in connection with the work, or in connection with a reproduction of the work, in such a way as to imply falsely that the person is an author of the work; or
to deal with the work with a person’s name so inserted or affixed, if the attributor knows that the person is not an author of the work; or
to deal with a reproduction of the work, being a reproduction in or on which a person’s name has been so inserted or affixed, if the attributor knows that the person is not an author of the work; or
to communicate the work to the public as being a work of which a person is the author, if the attributor knows that the person is not an author of the work.
