Moral Rights Triumph Over Economic Interests, Empowering Authors to Control Their Creations
The article explains that intellectual property involves both moral rights and economic effects. Moral rights protect the author's interests, such as the right to be recognized as the creator of their work. These rights cannot be ignored or reduced by contracts. Once a work is made public, the author's moral rights must be respected, even if economic rights are transferred. Violating these moral rights can lead to legal issues. It is important to understand and respect both the economic and moral aspects of intellectual property to avoid legal complications.
