This would be a fuckin lie and could be considered as fraud on end users or false designation of origin. Also.. there are alternative ways to protect moral rights in USA , even if they are not explicitly protected in law
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authors%27_rights
"The protection of the personality in common law jurisdiction has for long been separate from the law of copyright, embodied in such torts as defamation (also passing off and malicious falsehood)"

Author and authors rights are two different terms ... if somebody makes content that is illegal where he lives, I can assure you that the he as the author of the content will be the one in trouble, no matter if he sold the rights or not. Authorship means a lot you dickhead.
