If I give some person the key to my apartment and ask him to fetch a
book from there, that does not mean that he gets all rights that I as
the owner of the apartment have.  It does not give him permission to
read my letters, even though the content of the letters is not
tangible property.

You still confuse "access" and "ownership".  The owner is the
licensee, nobody else.
