This is incorrect as far as title 17 goes, copyright only gives control over
making copies and public performance, there must be a contract for any
additional restrictions. See http://www.theyscrewedusagain.com if you want
some good info for your paper. I would suggest you take a look specifically
at the quote from the 1908 congress that extended copyright law to cover
music as well, pretty interesting stuff.
