What is moral rights infringement?

Moral rights infringement is a violation of the rights of artists over their work that is protected by Art Law in North Carolina. These rights are designed to protect an artist’s work from being used or changed without permission. Moral rights are separate from the possession rights of an artist, which are usually regulated by copyright law. Moral rights ensure that an artist’s work is recognized and given credit when it is used. They also allow artists to maintain the integrity of their work, as they can prevent their work from being modified or altered without their permission. Additionally, they give the artist the right to decide whether or not their work is publicly displayed. Moral rights infringement is an act that violates these rights, such as if another artist used an artist’s work without giving credit, or if the work was altered without the artist’s permission. If an artist’s moral rights are infringed upon, they can take legal action against the party responsible for the infringement. North Carolina Law protects the rights of artists, making sure that they are able to protect the integrity of their work.
