Aside from the "fair use" exception , and allowances made for "right of 1st sale" and libraries, archives, etc. copyright law gives the rights owner absolute control over their intellectual property.

Five basic rights are conveyed to the author. They are the ability to control duplication, display, performance, distribution and creation of derivative works.
