The authors of pseudonymous and anonymous works enjoy the rights recognised by article L. 111-1.
They are represented in the exercise of these rights by the original publisher or publisher, as long as they have not made their civil identity known and provided proof of their capacity.
The declaration provided for in the preceding paragraph may be made by will; however, any rights that may have been acquired by third parties previously shall be maintained.
The provisions of the second and third paragraphs shall not apply where the pseudonym adopted by the author leaves no doubt as to his civil identity.
