Danish watchmaker forbidden from cutting up artist's work
The Danish court awarded an injunction to artist Tal R, who wanted to prevent watchmaker Kankse from cutting up one of his paintings, called Paris Chic, for use as a face in one of their watch designs. The court ruled that such an act would comprise alteration of Tal's work and hence violated copyright laws. Kankse's founders had earlier bought Paris Chic for 70,000 GBP in London.
