Abstract

Extract:

...[The] concept of moral rights applies not only to highly creative works of art or fiction but also to any original work, including original policy and academic writing, whether legal, economic, political, or any other. This concept of moral rights applies not only to highly creative works of art or fiction but also to any original work, including original policy and academic writing, whether legal, economic, political, or any other. In the recent past, several government bodies have borrowed from research published by individuals in newspapers in their reports and policy decisions.... While the government has benefited from individual contributions, the authors of the newspaper pieces have not been duly credited in several instances. The government reports and press releases simply refer to the article by date without mentioning the names of the authors. In some cases, references are altogether ignored. Such practices should be nipped in the bud.
