Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rhianna can assert her moral rights, which include the right to the integrity of the work and the right to be associated with the work in a particular way. Altering the sculpture to an amusement ride without her consent infringes on these rights, as it changes the character of the work and potentially harms her reputation as an artist.
