Although I agree that your question is important and sensible, I also think that the metaphors involving locks, keys, and doors have added complications rather than subtracting them to every discussion where they've been applied since the beginning of the internet.
* Transit through a door, in meatspace, amounts to tresspass insofar as it creates a physical vulnerability - to violence, vandalism, or larceny. This is true whether my door is locked or unlocked.
* Locks prevent operation of a door (or, in some cases, detachment of objects, such as with a bike lock). To open a lock is to facilitate transit through a door, or independent movement of the detached objects - these are state changes. Compare with copying bytes, where the original bytes are left unchanged.
* (Not central to the current discussion, but still demonstrative and worth consideration) Keys - don't get me started on keys. This metaphor has made it so much more difficult to teach cryptography to students who tend to learn well from other metaphors.... especially for assymetric crypto - keys do not map cleanly whatsoever, and they break the "signature" metaphor, which is otherwise pretty good. You don't sign things with a key; you sign them with a pen.
tl;dr: although perhaps companies adding bugs that prevent copying is a violation of your rights, it's not the same violation as adding a lock to a door.
