If it were codified in law wouldn't that make it a legal right? I'm sorry but for me and I'm guessing a bunch of other Americans the idea is confusing. I mean satire commentary parody and criticism are fair use it, I wouldn't consider a protection form "derogatory treatment" to be reasonable for works under copyright as least not by my reading of that link.
The first part confuses me more since i wouldn't consider it necessary. I don't know the situation in the UK but copyright or not plagiarism is frowned on what someone uses another person's work outright they tend to say so or at least it's made clear (Rent being based on La Boheme) otherwise well they just plagiarize and i don't think any force of laws will change that anymore than university rules stop it from happening on campuses form time to time.
