While copyright is largely harmonised, does that include moral rights?
More or less.
The "or less" is the bit you need to worry about, then.
Wow, thanks.
The thing with experts is that you often need to contact them in order to find out if there is anything worth contacting them about.
This had never occurred to me!
Perhaps you should try thinking things through properly in future, then.

I am truly impressed, not only with your exceptional knowledge of moral-rights jurisprudence, but also with your assessment of my legal abilities and your insightful interpretation of my comments. It's a wonder that I ever managed to accomplish anything without the insight of Thomas Dalton, especially with regard to this tricky copyright stuff.
It's true, Thomas -- I'm a dope, and I need your wisdom to straighten me out.
