Moral rights

Addresses the author's special rights of attribution and integrity.

In plain English

Even after selling the copyright, an author keeps 'moral rights' (to be credited and to object to distortion). In India these can't be fully signed away, so handle them explicitly.

Relevant law

  • Copyright Act, 1957 (s.57)
