What are moral rights?

Moral rights recognize that a work is a special act of creativity by an author. As a result, an author has special rights that attach to that work, regardless of who owns the copyright.

Moral rights give the author

  • the right to the integrity of the work;
  • the right to be associated with the work as its author by name or under a pseudonym;
  • the right to remain anonymous.
