And if I had commissioned her to paint a mural on my building and subsequently 
a porn theatre had moved in next door. If she brought the suit and won, would 
I have to destroy my artwork that I had paid her for, or would the porn 
theatre be forced to move?

So, are you arguing that moral rights do not exist in European copyright law, or that they're wrong-headed? If you win this argument and bend your opponent to your will, do you think moral rights in European copyright law are going to go away, or what?

Unless this is going to stay focused on the retention of moral rights in CC licenses, I strongly suggest that this conversation move to cc-community.
