Moral rights are a valuable diamond for authors. But where did they start and why? Is there a difference between the theory of moral rights and their application in practice? Can a balance be found between moral rights and other rights, such as the freedom of expression? What about the application of moral rights in the digital era? Is there an evolution in the content of these rights and what are the future perspectives? An attempt to answer all these questions can be found in this book, bundling the proceedings of the ALAI Congress held in Brussels from the 17th to 20th September 2014 about ‘The Moral Rights in the 21st Century’. World’s leading copyright experts provide you herein with their views on the history, application and future of moral rights. (Abstract of the editor)
