Interestingly, in some European countries, the artist
does retains some control how their work is used. They have the concept of 'moral rights', which an author cannot trade away.
Article 6bis of the Berne Convention protects attribution and integrity, stating:
Quote:
|
Independent of the author's economic rights, and even after the transfer of the said rights, the author shall have the right to claim authorship of the work and to object to any distortion, mutilation or other modification of, or other derogatory action in relation to the said work, which would be prejudicial to the author's honor or reputation.
