I was wondering what federal law could support the artists here. Answer: "Visual Artists Rights Act of 1990 A subsection of copyright law"
It's pretty short and the undefined terms stand out strongly. This was a useful overview for me to understand why the law exists: http://www.law.harvard.edu/faculty/martin/art_law/esworthy.htm http://www.law.harvard.edu/faculty/martin/art_law/esworthy.h...
- theandrewbailey 9y agoMentioned in the article: > The lawsuit hinges on a federal law called the the Visual Artists Rights Act of 1990. > A subsection of copyright law, the act grants visual artists the right to claim or disclaim a work and to protect their work from mutilation or distortion that would harm their honor or reputation. And if the art is of “recognized stature,” the act can be invoked to prevent their work from being destroyed.
