That's it, Moral Rights! Refs on moral rights:

Author's must have control over the fate of their works. Literary works are
more vulnerable to distortion than other kind of works, and also can bring
more harm in case of misuse by *organizations*. By full copyright a previous
agreement is needed prior to publishing, so the author has a chance to
prevent potential misuse by organizations.
How does CC prevents misuse and violation of moral rights by publishing and
distribution? Or maybe it's not a CC task?
