Presentation Type
Short Concurrent Session

Description
For an author of a work, moral rights include the right to attribution and the right to maintain the integrity of that work. The Creative Commons website states "all CC licenses preserve moral rights to the extent they exist (they do not exist everywhere)". Do moral rights exist in the United States and, if so, to what extent?
This presentation will give a brief synopsis of moral rights in the United States since the adaption of the Berne Convention in 1988. Gaps in legislation and case law will be covered as well as the U.S. Copyright's Office 2019 suggestions for the future.
