3.2.6 What are moral rights?
In addition to those rights recognised under copyright law (which are economic rights), authors of works have rights, known as moral rights, which enable protection of the creator’s personal interests in relation to their creation.  In essence, moral rights give the author of a work the right to be recognised as the author (no matter whether the copyright in the work has been disposed of by the author) and the right not to have the work subjected to derogatory treatment.  For more information on moral rights, see moral rights information on the other rights page.
Information current as at 12 September 2005.
