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.

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.
