In the U.S., the point of copyright is promote the production of more useful work. It is not to give 100% control to authors. The govt might decide that the country is better off if copyright holders cannot restrict the type of devices on which the copies are loaded/run. Highly unlikely but again, the point of copyright is _not_ to give 100% control to the cpyright owner.
