Moral Rights Under Section 57: What Indian Copyright Law Protects After You Assign Your Work

A copyright assignment transfers economic rights the right to reproduce, distribute, licence, and profit from a work. It does not transfer moral rights. Under Section 57 of the Copyright Act, 1957, every Indian author retains two rights that cannot be assigned, waived, or contracted away: the right to claim authorship, and the right to restrain or claim damages for any distortion or modification of their work that would be prejudicial to their honour or reputation. This guide explains both rights, their legal limits, and what happens after an author dies.
