The moral rights doctrine is based on the idea that the author has a special relationship with his creative work. These rights acquired international legitimacy in the form of the Berne Convention on copyright. Though moral rights belong to the author, their implications extend far beyond the author. Due to their social and cultural implications, the concept of moral rights has been used as an instrument of cultural policy in some countries, mainly for the protection of cultural heritage. However, the traditional concept needs serious reassessment and clarification in the current scenario, especially digital, where a work can be endlessly transmitted, modified, reshaped, and integrated in other works. Apart from this, the technological modes and methods of such dissemination, which are themselves 'literary works', overlap with the rights to the original work, thus compounding the problem over rights and interests. This book comprehensively examines this crucial domain, drawing on examples from the legislation and practice of key jurisdictions around the world. The book also suggests ways in which the concept of moral rights can contribute to the reorganization of the copyright laws in a digital context.
