What is the duration of moral rights in the UK?

In the UK, moral rights, which include the right to attribution and the right to integrity, last for the life of the author plus 70 years following their death. However, none of the provided choices accurately reflect the current duration of moral rights in the UK.

The key aspect of moral rights is that they protect the personal and reputational relationship of the author to their work. This protection continues for a significant time period to ensure that after the author’s death, their legacy and the recognition of their contribution to the art or literary fields are preserved.

While the selected option of life of the author plus 20 years does mention the life of the author, it falls significantly short of the actual duration established under UK law, which is 70 years, thereby failing to capture the full scope of protection intended for authors and their moral rights.
