The operator of the Toronto Eaton Centre was found liable for violating Michael Snow's moral rights by putting Christmas bows on his work Flight Stop.

He held that the sculpture's integrity was "distorted, mutilated or otherwise modified" which was "to the prejudice of the honour or reputation of the author" contrary to section 28.2 of the Copyright Act.

[1] Subsequent to this case, the standard for moral rights infringement has been raised by the requirement for more objective evidence of prejudice and harm.

Evidence from other respected artists and people knowledgeable in the field is required to prove prejudice to honour or reputation.

[2] The Copyright Act of Canada has also been amended since this case so that any modification to a painting, sculpture or engraving is deemed to prejudice the author.
