In what way would you be "making clear the relationship?" Like restrict usage?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Yes or granting usage. Being an author isn't always about forbidding, it can be about changing the work or adapting it as well.

The author can defend the work against uses that would change the meaning of the work itself (integrity).

Lastly, the author can't deny the work is his own. And for a bunch of artist this is a bummer.

All this is more of an author's right thing, but I think it's slowly coming to copyright laws as well (online publication).
