Some countries, including those in the European Union, recognize moral rights as part of a creator's rights to a copyrighted work. Moral rights include the rights of attribution (the right to be identified as the author of the work), the right to object to derogatory treatment of the work (such as distortion or modification that could harm the creator's reputation), and the right to object to the use of the work in association with a product, service, or cause that the creator does not support or that goes against their beliefs. These rights are separate from the economic rights granted to creators under copyright law and are intended to protect the integrity and reputation of the creator's work.
