Absolutely. Moral rights? Rights of respect? This is taking a giant leap down a very slippery slope. I am sure whoever came up with this had their heart in the right place. Doesn’t mean this doesn’t lead somewhere awful.
Yeah; I mean, if this was any other content from the same shows/movies it’d be a non-issue covered under Fair Use.
I can understand being upset about entirely new content, AI deepfakes for example; but this content was created and distributed to the public, intentionally, with the consent of the individuals that are filmed within it. It’s just been transformed into a different format; arguably, in a creative and educational manner. (the same way something like a ‘Family Guy funny moments’ compilation is)
If you didn’t want people looking at your nude body, why did you perform nude scenes in front of a camera, knowing it’d be distributed to the public…
Yeah, I mean, the law is a bit weird, seems far too broad, but I’m not from Denmark, so maybe it’s a cultural difference. Regardless, there was a law on the books, the mod violated it, and is being punished in accordance with it.

Apparently Denmark disagrees with you.
I tell you, every piece of news I hear at a Denmark for the last couple years has been really shitty. Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.
