This must be your own idiosyncratic application of the term "moral right." In copyright, "moral rights" refers to inalienable legal rights that are recognized in law. If you are in a jurisdiction that does not recognize "moral rights," then you don't have them, by definition. > Sure, but I'm not in a jurisdiction that indisputably recognizes the > right > to attribution. Okay, so why are you invoking rights that you don't have? > Barring a license to use my content in that way, sure.

Film directors don't have any legal right to such a "credit card" (I assume you mean "credit"). They may negotiate for such a credit through contract, but they don't have it in the absence of a contract. >> So you're saying your legal rights are defined by "common sense"? > > To some extent, sure.

They can't be understood without knowledge of the law, either. --Mike _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
