Document Overview
A Moral Rights Consent provides written permission from a creator or author of a work to allow others to modify, reproduce, distribute, or display the work without violating the creator's moral rights. It seeks to protect your reputation as an artist and creator, even if you no longer own the copyright to the work. Moral Rights includes the creator’s right to be properly attributed or credited, and the protection of their work from derogatory treatment.
The Legal Risk Score of a Moral Rights Consent Template
Our legal team have marked this document as medium risk considering:
- Waiving attribution rights means the author agrees not to be recognized as the creator of the work, which could impact their reputation and future opportunities to claim authorship.
- Allowing alterations or modifications to the work without any restrictions might result in changes that the author does not agree with or that could harm the integrity of the original work.
- The author assumes responsibility for ensuring that the work does not infringe on any third-party intellectual property or moral rights, which could lead to legal challenges if this is not accurately verified.
