Well, due to the Hague Convention in the 80's, that is rather true,
although a composer can release under alternate licenses (or into the
public domain.  Also, if the composer is the "publisher," he can simply
not enforce his copyright.

I never claimed that the house was a unique design.  I merely state that
"the house" is a result of the owner investing time and material into
creating it.  It is "his" house.  He owns it, and it is within his
rights to completely control it's use.
