In this regard, the original holder of the copyright is the creator (author) of the work. 6However, some of these rights may also be exercised by the right holder’s successors, andit may be that the author is an employee of an individual or an entity who may havehired him or her specifically to carry out some work, in which case the exercise of therights (mainly economic) will belong to the employer. 72.1. Moral RightsIn contrast to other legal systems, particularly that of the United States, Mexican Lawprotects the so-called moral right of authors.*A moral right is the aspect of the copyright that concerns the protection of the author’spersonality as creator and the protection of the work itself as a separate entity. This rightis perpetual, inalienable, imprescriptible, and may not be waived or encumbered, and itconfers on its holders the right and/or the power:a) To determine whether their work will be disseminated and in what form, or if itwill remain unpublished;b) To demand recognition of their status as authors with regard to the work they havecreated and to determine whether it will be disseminated as an anonymous workor under a pseudonym;c) To demand respect for their work, opposing any deformation, mutilation, or anychange to it, as well as any action or attack on the work causing it to decrease invalue or damaging the reputation of the author;d) To modify their work, to withdraw their work from the market, or to contest theattribution to the author of a work that is not of their creation.227Intellectual Property2.2. Economic RightsEconomic rights include compensation paid to the authors for the exploitation, performance,__________6When a work has been created by several authors, the copyright will belong in equal parts to each one ofthem, except when a different percentage has been stipulated. The acceptance of the majority of the authorswill be necessary to exercise the rights that correspond to them for the creation of the work.7To determine title to the rights in this case, the following must be considered: (a) if the individual or entitythat contracts the author for the work pays for said creation, this person will enjoy the copyright, but willbe obligated to mention the name of the author, not as author but as collaborator, and (b) if such creationwas made without payment, that is, there was no compensation on the part of the individual or entity thatcontracted it, the holder of the copyright will be the author.* Generally speaking, common law legal systems speak of copyright, which is a property right that can befreely transferred. On the other hand, civil law systems generally provide for authors rights, which have adouble component of economic rights and personal (or moral) rights, the latter of which are inalienable andentitle the author to claim authorship of his/her work and object to any unauthorized modification of it.
