This is why, I gather, some european legal systems have the concept of an author's moral right to be identified as such, distinct from copyright and non-transferable. I thought there were some moves to enshrine this in EU law, but don't know the status of that.

Perhaps someone more knowledgeable will chime in.

The Berne Convention (home to the worldwide scope for protection of my copyrights in your country) identifies the moral right to be known as author. See Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works at Wikipedia.
