Sure, and if someone did something with my work that upset me greatly, I 
might 
want to take advantage of such laws if they were available to me to stop or 
even to punish them.

I do see these sorts of possibilities wreaking havoc with copyleft type 
endeavours though.

So, I am not disagreeing that moral rights laws can have their good points. 
Do 
you agree/see however, that in the CC, Free, copyleft world(s) they can have 
their bad points as well?

If so, can we seek ways to overcome their bad points? While preserving their 
good points?

all the best,
