  **第一項**  実演を公衆に提供し、又は提示する者は、その実演の実演家の死後においても、実演家が生存しているとしたならばその実演家人格権の侵害となるべき行為をしてはならない。ただし、その行為の性質及び程度、社会的事情の変動その他によりその行為が当該実演家の意を害しないと認められる場合は、この限りでない。
  <sup>art-101-3/par-1 · https://japanlaw.org/ja/copyright-act/art-101-3/par-1 · https://japanlaw.org/l/345AC0000000048/art-101-3/par-1</sup>
  Even after the death of the performer, it is prohibited for person that makes available or presents that performer's performance to the public to engage in conduct that would be prejudicial to the moral rights of the performer if the performer were alive; provided, however, that this does not apply if that conduct is found not to contravene the will of the performer in light of the nature and extent of the conduct as well as changes in social circumstances and other conditions.
