Intellectual property: moral rights
Moral rights impose additional obligations on web producers and others who use copyright works.
- Authors have the right to be identified correctly as authors.
- Images should not be manipulated in a way which would damage the reputation of the author of the original image. For example there may be legal dangers in altering photographs graphically on the Internet.
- There may also be dangers in showing privately commissioned photographs without the permission of the commissioner or the subject.
