This is exactly what came to my mind when reading the bit Birgitte pointed out.

The part that says:
"regardless of the intent and purpose of such modifications. " seems
to be at best an ideal, at worst requiring the impossible, considering
all you pointed out.

I'll add that moral rights are not only recognized in the
English-speaking world, but basically in at least the whole western
world. France being one among many countries (yeah, I didn't like
France being singled out in the subject :P)

But then also, IANAL. :-)
