Well, no they don't have that right. There are statutory licenses for many IP "things" that the rights holder are not allowed to deny. Music is the big one that comes to mind.
Even when we're not talking statutory licenses, the rights holder is not allowed to say that you aren't allowed to buy their product. The author of a book cannot tell you that you're not allowed to buy it when you are in the book store.
It's only for these "download things" that they think they have that right.
