You may be thinking of "moral rights." These may include a right of paternity (the right to be identified as the author of a work--or to have your name withheld, if you chose), a right to withdraw your work from the market (though you may have to buy it back), and a right not to have the work mutilated or altered in a way that could damage the artist's reputation. In U.S. copyright law, there are some limited moral rights for visual artworks, but not for writings or music. Moral rights are perhaps strongest in France, where these rights never expire, even long after the author's death and after the copyright has expired.

What is different from legal copyright and moral copyright?
Both economic rights and moral rights are based in copyright laws, but there are many countries that do not recognize moral rights. Economic rights generally include the exclusive rights to copy, alter, distribute, or perform/display the work; typically those rights are expected to make money. Moral rights generally include the right to attribution, the right to have a work published anonymously or pseudonymously, and the right to integrity of the work (ie the prevention of alteration, distortion, or mutilation). While economic rights expire after a set amount of time (life of the creator plus 50 years in most cases, although the US and some other countries have extended this to life plus 70 years), moral rights can be for perpetuity.

"Copyright in fragment" is a common misspelling of "copyright infringement," which is the violation of copyright.
How do you stop copyright infringement?
Because it's impossible for rightsholders or their agents to notice and identify every single infringing act, it's the user's responsibility to do the right thing, even when there's little to no threat of getting caught. Ultimately, copyright enforcement is a moral and ethical idea more than a legal one.
