Moral rights are separate from the “economic rights” of the copyright owner. The creator of a work, who holds moral rights, is not necessarily the owner of copyright in the work. Creators have three moral rights. These are the right:

• to be attributed (or credited) for their work;
• not to have their work falsely attributed; and
• not to have their work treated in a derogatory way.

Key points

• Moral rights are personal legal rights belonging to individual creators of copyright works and cannot be transferred, assigned or sold.
• In relation to any one item of copyright material, the moral rights and copyright in the material may be held by different people.
