If holding the copyright is the bar, then physical media doesn’t give that either. Buying a physical book doesn’t transfer the copyright to me. I can start producing more copies and selling them, at least not legally.

Unless you own it. Someone out there will be the owner. Sometimes that might be you; but typically not.
