I agree.

But we do live in an era of "harmonisation" and Free Trade Agreements, 
right?

Consistency can be a good thing, provided the best laws are adopted. 
They aren't, so yes, we need to protect important moral rights. Not 
everyone will agree.  Some will say consistency is more important than 
"the best laws".  Consistency is desirable when your content is 
available in multiple jurisdictions. There are legal rules on the which 
forum a legal dispute will be heard (e.g. Forum Non Convieniens) but 
what a pain to have to know.
