These include the right of paternity which gives "the artist the right to insist that his or her name be associated the work. Indeed, in France, the right cannot be waived even by the artist." [The Rights of Authors and Artists, Kenneth Norwick et al, ACLU, 1984] New York State has similar (but weaker) laws. -- Carl Kadie -- kadie@cs.uiuc.edu -- University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
