    I was just searched for a song on YouTube and came across a really bad,clearly amateur remix of the song that I was looking for. Nowhere did it say "this song has been modified by abc and is in no way associated with xyz"-would it not be possible for the artist to sue the person who made this YouTube video for an infringement of his/her integrity right or possibly for false attribution as the artists name was clearly stated in the title of the video.

    Any idea's??

    Hi Grant, how are you?
    How is NTU going?

    The only thing I can find is

    Parodies of works protected by copyright require the consent or permission of the copyright owner, unless they fall under existing fair use/fair dealing exceptions:
    • the part of the underlying work is not 'substantial'
    • the use of the underlying work falls within the fair dealing exception for "criticism, review and news reporting"
    • enforcement of copyright is contrary to the public interest
