Infringes reputation is so sooo broad. It comes down to who does the judge like the most, no? Reddit mods will always be way down on the list, as the judicial inclined tend to be technologically illiterate.
Also, the reddit mod is not jailed. In most of europe "prison" sentences like this are conditional sentences.
Yeah, it also seems weird cause things like remakes, parodies, trailers, etc. all would technically violate that law.
Except a remake would not use the original actor’s image, a trailer is part of marketing the actor agreed to, and parodies are covered by fair use.
The qoute says the "authors", so this law is not exclusively tied to actors, but generally works of art and the people involved in creating it. Thats why I called out things like remakes.
And while you are right that in many of my examples there would probably be contracts to avoid these issues, my point was to show how easy it is to break this law (and that copyright owners do it all the time themselves).
Also, fair use for parodies is not a thing in all countries - not sure if it is in Denmark.
Fair Use exists only in the US. I believe it is part of the reason why the US became so culturally dominant. It certainly is why the internet is US dominated. European copyright laws are stifling.
