The problem with this claim is that it equivocates on the meaning of "a right". There are at least two definitions of "a right" in this sense: moral rights and legal rights. These are not the same. Moral rights are not in the gift of any Government. While we may not have a legal right to run whatever software we wish on hardware we own, it's not at all unreasonable to claim a moral right to do so.
