Copyright Act 1968

This section applies if the work is a cinematograph film.

It is an act of false attribution in relation to the director, producer or screenwriter of the film:

to insert or affix, or to authorise the inserting or affixing of, a person’s name on the film or on a copy of the film in such a way as to imply falsely that the person is the director, producer or screenwriter, as the case may be, of the film; or

to deal with the film or a copy of the film if a person’s name has been so inserted or affixed on the film or a copy, as the case may be, and the attributor knows that the person is not the director, producer or screenwriter, as the case may be, of the film; or

to communicate the film to the public as being a film of which a person is the director, producer or screenwriter, as the case may be, if the attributor knows that the person is not the director, producer or screenwriter of the film.
