         (1)   For the purposes of this section, the word "name" includes initials or monograms.

         (2)   Subject to this section, where copyright subsist in a work, no person may, without the consent of the author, or, after the author's death, of his personal representative, do or authorize the doing of any of the following acts:

                 (a)   the presentation of the work, by any means whatsoever, under a 
                         name other than that of the author; and 

                 (b  the presentation of the work by any means whatsoever, in a modified 
                         form if the modification----

                        (i)   significantly alters the work; and

                       (ii)   is such that it might reasonable be regarded as adversely 
                              affecting the author's honor or reputation.

    (3)     Where a person authorized, whether by virtue of an assignment, a license or otherwise, to publish, reproduce, perform in public, broadcast or communicate by cable a work, that person may make modifications to the work if it would be reasonable to expect that the authorized publication, reproduction, public performance, broadcast or communication by cable, as the case may be, could not take place without the modifications; but nothing in this subsection shall authorize a modification to a work which would constitute a contravention of subsection (2).

    (4)     The author or, after his death, his personal representative, may exercise the rights conferred by this section notwithstanding that the copyright in the work is not at the time of the act complained of, vested in the author or personal representative, as the case may be.

    (5)     Any contravention or threatened contravention of this section in respect of a work shall be actionable at the suit of the author of the work or, if he is dead, at the suit of his personal representative, as a breach of statutory duty.

    (6)     Any damages recovered under this section by a personal representative in respect of a contravention committed in relation to a work after the death of the author of the work shall devolve as part of the author's estate, as
