I suspect that you can create art and release it anonymously, and nobody can force you to say you painted it. That would be covered in the US under freedom of speech, I think. On the other hand, claiming that you painted something that you didn't, or didn't paint something that you did, may be fraudulent?
- incompatible 10y agoPerhaps artists will be advised in future to refuse to deny or confirm that they painted anything, to avoid such lawsuits.
- CoryG89 10y agoRight? I could see being sued for claiming you painted something that you didn't. I think that is pretty standard faire. But the reverse? That sounds crazy to me. At any rate, my freedom of speech definitely covers both cases.
- bitJericho 10y agoIANAL. You can surely be compelled to tell the truth. I can't imagine how the court could compel somebody to admit or deny this type of fact though. But not speaking at all is different from lying. If you do not follow the courts order, it could be charge of civil contempt, which could be jail time until you promise to no longer ignore the courts orders and/or could include fines.
