Thread Name: Does right to integrity apply?
Subject: RE: Does right to integrity apply?
By the way, the original question on "right to integrity" is covered in this section of the code:

"A compulsory license includes the privilege of making a musical arrangement of the work to the extent necessary to conform it to the style or manner of interpretation of the performance involved, but the arrangement shall not change the basic melody or fundamental character of the work...."

Obviously, there is room for interpretation as to what changes the fundamental character of a work. So the answer in the US seems to be...right to integrity applies only to a limited extent.
