    About this ebook

    In the United States, human creativity is historically understood to be motivated by economic concerns. However, this perspective fails to account for the reality that human creativity is also often the result of internal motivations having nothing to do with money. This book addresses what motivates human creativity and how the law governing authors' rights should be shaped in response to these motivations.

    On a practical level, it illustrates how integrating a fuller appreciation of the inspirational dimension of the creative process will allow us to think more expansively about legal protections for authors. Many types of creators currently lack the legal ability to compel attribution for their work, to prevent misattribution, and to safeguard their work from unwanted modifications. Drawing from a number of diverse sources, including literary, philosophical, and religious works, this book offers real solutions for crafting legal measures that facilitate an author's ability to safeguard his or her work without entirely sacrificing the intellectual property policies in practice in the United States today.

      I’m going to try to do a serious review of this eventually, but basically, Kwall argues that highly creative works express the author’s personal meaning and message, and that this connection justifies granting authors rights of attribution and rights against distortion much more broadly than US law presently does, though she doesn’t quite think European versions would work in the US. I don’t think I ever really understood “meaning and message,” but she believes that this highly personal connection is “intrinsic” to the right kind of authors. I don’t have anything against attribution norms, but I think attribution rights are a terrible idea, and her proposal to limit the remedy to injunctive relief (a court order requiring attribution or a disclaimer of agreement) and not damages except in special cases did not reassure me. Every author thinks her own case is special, which is kind of the point that would impel her to sue over a perceived violation of her moral rights. So to me the proposal is just another way that authors/copyright owners could threaten subsequent creators to shut them up (since pure copying would almost never violate moral rights—there’s no distortion and usually no failure to attribute).
