Well, a few messages ago in this same thread, MJ Ray told me something
similar about the law. I failed to find the relevant articles in Italian
Author's Right Law (at least from a quick review), and asked MJ Ray for
help. He pointed out http://www.jenkins-ip.com/patlaw/cdpa1.htm#s84, but
it speaks about false attribution.
So we are here to speak about false attribution: I hardly understand how
stating a true fact could be considered "false attribution"; MJ Ray is
trying to explain this to me...
