i forgot to say that under the natural rights perspective authors lopgically 
have the right to forbid their words to be used in certain ways. such as 
music for torture purposes at guantanamo bay and in secret cia prisons (in 
poland and romania?)
here the "property"(*) aspect is relevant indeed. you can not buy my car 
either, it is my property and i may decided you don't get it, whatever price 
you are prepared to pay!

(*) remember that the rejection of the "intellectual property" concept does 
not preclude that e.g. a patent is called a "property right". but that is at 
a different level: the level of *respecting* (acknowledged) rights rather 
than the level of *granting* rights.
