Art. L. 121-1. L'auteur jouit du droit au respect de
son nom, de sa qualité et de son oeuvre.
   Ce droit est attaché à sa personne.
   Il est perpétuel, inaliénable et imprescriptible.
   Il est transmissible à cause de mort aux héritiers
de l'auteur.
   L'exercice peut être conféré à un tiers en vertu de
dispositions testamentaires.
