 However, according to Chapter Three of the 1996 Mexican federal copyright law, it is illegal to sell crafts made in Mexico without acknowledging the community and region they are from, or to alter the crafts in a way that could be interpreted as damaging to the culture's reputation or image.The law applied to the commercialization of the crafts as well as to their public exhibition and the use of their images.However, this law is rarely enforced; most crafts sellers in Mexico rarely give the origin of their products are from.
