On our sixth (holiday) episode Matt and Meredith discuss moral rights, an artist’s right to be identified as the creator of a copyrighted work and to prevent the “mutilation” of it. They discuss a seminal Canadian moral rights decision that prevented a shopping mall from tying festive ribbons around statues of geese during the holiday season. They discuss ways you can deal with works of art and what steps you can take to avoid these types of disputes.
