Moral rights in respect of a live performance or recorded performance apply
in relation to the whole or a substantial part of the performance.

Performances that have more than one performer
Example: If X and Y are the performers in a performance, then
each of them has the right to be identified. However, there is no infringement
of X's moral right if Y is not identified (and vice versa).
Example: X and Y are the performers in a performance that is
falsely attributed to X and Z. This false attribution infringes X's moral right
and Y's moral right.
Example: X and Y are the performers in a performance. The
performance is subjected to derogatory treatment that is prejudicial to X's
reputation but not to Y's reputation. The result is an infringement of X's
right of integrity of performership but not an infringement of Y's right of
integrity of performership.
