   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.

 (NB: Claiming a statement is sarcastic does not making it false. From
 your previous email is quite clear that your statements in this email
 are true despite the fact that you most likely believe you are being
 sarcastic.) 
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.
