Moral rights does not grant an creator some kind of unlimited power. He 
must prove that his artistic integrity has been somehow violated, your 
examples do not violate anyones artistic integrity.

I think you're over-reacting. Moral rights is a matter of respect, 
respect for another persons creation. In the same way as one should 
treat ones neighbors with respect one should treat other peoples 
creations with respect.
