Well, the term in Swedish is "ideell upphovsrätt" and I do not know what the English correct term is. But it correspons roughly to 6bis in the Berne convetnion which say that: "Independently 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 his honor or reputation."
I thought that kind of copyright was longer or never ended in many countries. But when checking now I am unsure. I thought is was not time limited.
What is true is that in most European countries the concept public domain does not exist in law so during the copyright time it is impossible to place a work in the "public domain" since the 6bis parapgraph always holds.
