You´re right, but that´s needed because in many laws there are
protection for moral rights, such as in Spain:

Article 14.4 of spanish IP law: [1]

(Translated by me)

"Correspond to the author the following rights wich cannot be renounced
and are inalienable:

4. To demand respect for work integrity and prevent any deformation,
change, alter or attented against the work that could harm author´s
interest´s or reputation."

I agree it´s prone to misuse but it`s imperative in many jurisdictions.

The problem is to determine what attempts against an author reputation
in a "permision culture" where the work can be used without previous
notification to the author.

Un saludo.
