Right of integrity definition

Right of integrity essentially means author’s right not to have his or her work subjected to “derogatory treatment”, meaning treatment that is prejudicial to the author’s reputation or honour, for instance, a material distortion of a work. What is prejudicial is difficult to define because of the inherently subjective nature and there is little guidance in the Copyright Act on the point. Moreover, the changes are so recent that there is little or no case law to guide us and one can only look at overseas experiences.
