The publishing house, run by the Bolian Ardon Broht, that released the Doctor's holonovel Photons Be Free without his consent and argued that a hologram has no rights as an author.
Broht & Forrester is a publisher of holographic novels in the Voyager episode Author, Author. Once regular contact with Earth is possible, the Doctor sends the firm a draft of Photons Be Free, a story about an oppressed emergency medical hologram.
When his crewmates object to their thinly disguised portraits he decides to revise it, but Ardon Broht has already put the first version on sale. Broht refuses to recall it, saying that the Doctor is a piece of software and cannot hold the rights of an author.
Janeway and Tuvok contest the point before a Federation arbitrator. He will not rule that the Doctor is a person, but finds that he qualifies as an artist, and orders the work withdrawn. A closing scene shows the revised novel circulating among other holograms.
