Moral rights
In Australia, creators of works have moral rights under Part IX of the Copyright Act. A creator's moral rights include:
- attribution / acknowledgement as author
- to not be falsely attributed to an unauthorised version of the work
- to maintain the integrity of a work.
Moral rights are retained even where copyright is transferred to another party and cannot be waived. It is possible to request or provide consent for activities that might otherwise breach a creator's moral rights.
