"it's about what do you build law upon, and in the case of copyright our forefathers gave us a pretty succinct framework within to work and morality was NOT a part of it. Seriously, end of fucking story on this moral crap!"
The fact that moral rights are a subset of copyright in several legal systems (though in the US, only explicitly with respect to the visual arts under copyright law -- for other works, moral rights get spread into other areas of law) muddies the waters a bit.
That said, if copyright were limited exclusively to moral rights as they have been codified, it would look an awful lot like CC-BY-ND. Food for thought.
