Japan as well has the "Moral right" thing, but in a different perspective: give back to the original author off your profit with each sale when possible.
It made sense in the days of Old Edo. it doesn't make as much sense now. It complicated the used game market in Japan for ages.
- psychoslave 3y agoThat's yet a different matter. Morale rights in French law gives the author possibility to forbid the use of their work based on social reputation it might imply. For example a compositor can refuse that a song they wrote would be used publicly by a political party as an anthem because this party promote ideologies that the author doesn't want to be associated with. It also allow author to forbid any further publication of what they published in the past, and ask for unsold copies to be destroyed. None of the things within morale rights is about making money, at least in intent.
