As long as you agreed in a former mail about how important is to avoid 
misattribution -and I bind both paternity and integrity as the two 
solely moral rights (currently existing, and currently being wanted by 
PIRATA to exist)-, I think you also agree on those two moral rights 
being compatible with the reform conceived by us for the 21st century 
-and only those two, without adding that /moral/ (?) /right/ commented 
by Reinier ("/frankly, I would appreciate a "moral" right of the author 
to *decide on the use of his work* after the term for commercial 
exploitation has expired/" ... I think the exclusive right to make 
derivative works is not a moral right, but a commercial right; thus, 
Reinier's proposal doesn't equate with commercial rights, at least some 
of them never, expiring? If it's its meaning, I have to disagree with 
such proposal)-. Regards,
