Still to come
The " moral right"
which Rowling is claiming is part of the European copyright
law. It allows Rowling to maintain a level of control over the Harry Potter
stories, characters, etc. even though she has sold rights to Warner Bros.
and other companies, and is therefore a very good thing for the integrity
of the Harry Potter stories. This moral right is not recognized by the
United States, although some US copyright law does approximate the moral
right clause of the Berne Convention.
