actually it when it pressed
the copyright holder get to define the rights when they release the content
your not buying the content, your buying the licience to use the content.
it a special type of sales transaction created by the exclusive right monopoly of the copyright act. an exclusive right which is supposed to only be limited to the revenue generated from the distribution of the content.
An exclusive right that is granted to you in exchange for recognizing whatever the court determine to be fair use. The purpose of fair use is to prevent copyright holder from abusing that monopoly to take money that is beyond the scope of the distribution of the content.
if you want to sell your content as property go ahead, but that means there are no liciencing restrictions once they buy it they can do anything they want with it.
physical ownership gives you all rights.
you want to define the transaction by the liciencing rights, something that does not exist in property sales, that only exists because of an agreement that defines and demands a respect for fair use.
Then you have to honor fair use.
