195AG Acts of false attribution of authorship of altered literary, dramatic, musical or artistic work
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:
to deal with the work as so altered, as being the unaltered work of the author; or
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.
Subsection (1) does not apply if:
the effect of the alteration is insubstantial; or
the alteration was required by law to be made, or was otherwise necessary to avoid a breach of any law.
