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.

Do legal norms dominate moral norms?

Legal norms and moral norms can coexist and sometimes overlap, but they are not always the same. Legal norms are enforced by the legal system, whereas moral norms are based on individual or societal beliefs about right and wrong. In some cases, legal norms may reflect moral norms, but in other cases, they may diverge.


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.

What is copyright from moral and legal standpoints?

From a legal standpoint, it's a group of laws designed to protect the rights (and incomes) of creators. From a moral standpoint, it's essentially the same: protecting the rights of creators. Because copyright violations are so easy and so frequent, law enforcement has no chance of monitoring and prosecuting every violator; thus, it functions more on the "honor system," relying heavily on individuals' ethical and moral codes to ensure the rights of creators are respected.
