In constitutional law, rights are either natural, civil or political: Natural rights come from the nature of man and depend on personality; civil rights are those rights that belong to all the members of a state or country; political rights are those rights allowing people to participate in the formation and administration of government.
Rights may be classified either as perfect or imperfect, depending upon their clarity and determination as opposed to one that is vague and unfixed.
Exercising of these rights requires the members of society to yield some of their rights to insure other rights may exist for the whole, that is for the welfare of the society.

 Copyright Amendment (Moral Rights) Bill 1999 (Bills Digest 99 1999-2000)

Personality rights are generally considered to consist of two types of rights: the right to privacy, or to keep one's image and likeness from being exploited without permission or contractual compensation, and the right to publicity use of one's identity, which is similar to the use of a trademark.
Thus personality rights are, generally speaking, judge-made law, though there are jurisdictions where some aspects of personality rights are statutory.
In a publicity rights case the issue to decide is whether a significant section of the public would be misled into believing (incorrectly) that a commercial arrangement had been concluded between a plaintiff and a defendant under which the plaintiff agreed to the advertising involving the image or reputation of a famous person.

 Colorization and "Moral Rights" of the Artist
In short, the moral right of an artist is "usually classified as a right of personality," which is not to say, the same thing as the right of paternity or property rights.
This very distinction between the rights of an artist in his property, which is the artwork he has produced, and his rights to preserve his integrity and to control how his personality, his name and his being are exploited through that work, has led to four distinctive rights.
Contrary to the United States' interpretation, "moral rights" or "droit moral" concentrates on the artist or the author of a work, while the word "copyright" refers to a non-author's rights to copy a given work.

 Hughes, Philosophy of IP
Second, this approach could justify property rights for after-the-fact development of personality interests without requiring [*350] such interests in the property at the time the property rights are granted.
This paradox of personality and alienation is more acute with intellectual property because, in the absence of any physically tangible res (other than the copy, which is not itself the entirety of the property) that is distinct from the creator's personality, it is difficult to conceive of abandonment.
Justice Holmes aptly characterized such works as "the personal reaction of an individual upon nature." n216 Another receptacle for personality is the legal concept of an individual's "persona." The "persona" is an individual's public image, including his physical features, mannerisms, and history.

 The Human Rights Discourse: A Bahá'í Perspective
Even though Article 29.1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights specifies that "everyone has duties to the community in which alone the free and full development of his personality is possible," the brevity and less than prominent location of this statement hardly does justice to the notion that rights must correlate with obligations.
Because human rights proponents are confronted with a variety of obstacles in their efforts to preserve individual freedoms, including claims of state sovereignty, cultural autonomy, and collective rights, to have a clear theoretical foundation for human rights would be extremely helpful in overcoming such obstacles and implementing concrete legal instruments.
Although it is logically possible to reject the idea that human rights have philosophical foundations, in light of widespread anthropological realities and a deepening global political consensus it cannot be plausibly argued that the concept of universal human rights is an arbitrary construct.

The privacy- related property rights in personality vindicated by Marion Manola and Bette Midler are interesting examples of property rights accorded legal protection in part because of the intrinsic value of the persons who hold the rights.
Hadley's inability to imagine a structure of legal rights in which the right to privacy included, but was not limited to, property rights in a person's identity, found echoes in some of the early court decisions which considered the right to privacy.
In each of these rights, as indeed in all other rights recognized by the law, there inheres the quality of being owned or possessed--and (as that is the distinguishing attribute of property) there may be some propriety in speaking of those rights as property.

 Book Review Law and History Review, 17.2 The History Cooperative
Richards is particularly interested in the linkages made by abolition feminists between the deprivations of rights on the basis of race and gender and the ways that those connections fueled an argument for human rights.
Richards uses this concept to undergird a redefinition of the meanings of constitutional guarantees of rights, particularly with respect to the rights of lesbians and gay men.
He does this most convincingly in his arguments about intimacy and his interpretation of the Thirteenth Amendment as a guarantor of the freedom to develop moral personality.

Individualism denies that there are any collective moral agents, and therefore denies rights or responsibilities to groups (but not to the individuals within those groups).
Rather, it was a dense concept suggesting an alternative to the collectivism of socialism and communism, certainly, but also remaining open to the interaction between the individual and his society and culture that crafts distinctive personality.
