Moral rights under Indian copyright law are the special rights granted to authors and creators, independent of their economic rights. These rights ensure that an author's personal connection to their work is protected. Under the Copyright Act, 1957, moral rights are recognized under Section 57 and include: Right of Paternity (Authorship) – The author has the right to claim authorship of the work and to be credited for it. Right of Integrity – The author can object to any distortion, mutilation, or modification of their work that harms their reputation or honor. These rights remain with the author even after assigning or transferring copyright and continue to exist even after the author’s death, passing to their legal heirs.
