🔐 Authors always retain their moral rights, which are non-transferable, non-renounceable, and deeply personal. These rights cannot be sold or assigned, and they stay with the creator for life.
📌 Key moral rights include:
✍️ The right to be recognized as the author
Every time the work is used, published, or performed, the author has the undeniable right to be credited. Your name travels with your creation.🛡️ The right to protect the integrity of the work
No one can modify, distort, or use the work in a way that harms the author's reputation, message, or style without permission.📢 The right to decide when and how the work is released
Only the author can choose the moment and manner in which their work is first shared with the public. 🌟
💵 In addition to moral rights, the author retains economic rights.
Even when there's a publishing agreement with UMW, the author can still receive their direct share of royalties from SAYCE, based on the public use of their works in Ecuador.
This includes royalties from:
