[MCN-L] Moral Rights in the US

Each Monday I send an email on copyright issues, developments, management tips and more! This week I wrote about moral rights in US copyright law. Moral rights protect the reputation of a creator as opposed to economic rights which provide creators with control over their copyright-protected ma
