Intrinsic right? That's a weird statement to me. What about the creator, don't I have an intrinsic right to determine the terms by which I distribute my creations?

What makes you believe any of these things are intrinsic? Is that a faith based belief?

The US has the first sale doctrine, and there are similar laws in other parts of the world. The seller has no rights over property after they sell it.

The definition of property is fuzzy, and I can sell you bits that don't include source code. The OP is arguing that source code is an intrinsic right. I don't see that.
