He still has his product to sell. And he has the same control over his product any other producer has: Once it has been purchased the new owner controls it.

Wrong. The person who illegally copied it has diluted the producer's possible future sales. Intellectual property is still your property, and you have the right to determine how a product you offer for sale can be used.

And he has the same control over his product any other producer has: Once it has been purchased the new owner controls it.

Look up the definition of "intellectual property" some time and get back to me on that one.
