The ruling is considered unique in Denmark for its use of the "moral rights" section of the Danish Copyright Act, which states an artist's work cannot be used in a way which infringes upon their reputation.

Problem I find with the finding is how does taking a short clip directly from a film changes its character unless it has been re-edited into something different from its original presentation.
