That's the provocative point of this recent Scholarly Kitchen post. Discussing the Hathi Trust orphan works lawsuit, Rick Anderson notes that copyright law doesn't give authors complete control of their work, common belief notwithstanding.

Also: "It’s the law, not the copyright holder, that determines what uses can be made of a copyrighted work."
