There is in fact legal precedent showing that it is not entitlement.

Sony Computer Entertainment v. Connectix Corp.

> The object code of a program may be copyrighted as expression, 17 U.S.C. § 102(a), but it also contains ideas and performs functions that are not entitled to copyright protection. See 17 U.S.C. § 102(b).

These corporations have actually gone to court over this and lost. It's just that they technically won by bankrupting their opponents via legal costs.
