Morala rättigheter.
The moral rights approach states that actions are only ethical if they do interfere with the rights of others. This is one of the concepts of ethics promoted in most societies.
There is a difference between individuals and "entities." Individuals can have moral rights even though they may not be codified in law. A company is an 'entity' - a 'thing' - 'things' do not and cannot have moral rights.
moral nature of human rights
Moral Idealism is a belief that individual rights and responsibilities are universal, regardless of outcome.
An entity can possess moral rights if it is considered to have inherent value or interests that warrant respect and consideration. This can be based on factors such as sentience, autonomy, or capacity for well-being. Philosophical frameworks like moral personhood or the capabilities approach may be used to argue for the moral rights of entities beyond humans.

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.
Economic rights refer to the rights that have the potential to make money: copying, altering, distributing, or performing/displaying. Economic rights can be transferred or inherited, licensed and sub-licensed, and generally passed around, and exist for a limited time. Moral rights are more esoteric. They include the right to attribution, the right to have the work published anonymously or under a pseudonym, and the preservation of integrity (the right to protect the work from mutilation or "other derogatory action"). Moral rights are always retained by the creator, even if the economic rights are transferred; in some countries, the moral rights are retained in perpetuity, even after the creator's death. Moral rights are not recognized in all countries; see the link below for country-specific information.

A few countries, most notably France, include a "moral right" which is given to the creator in perpetuity. Moral rights include the right of attribution, the right to have the work published anonymously or under a pseudonym if desired, and the right to preserve the integrity of the work. Even when the "economic rights" to a work are sold or transferred, the creator maintains the moral rights.
