Yes, I assumed you were speaking of copyright. Copyright gives you a monopoly on your work. Is this what you mean by the "right of control of exploitation?" Is there another law that gives that right or are you speaking from a moral standpoint?

Copyright doesn't prevent copying, it just gives you a way of redress.



UN Declaration of Human Rights (ratification varies by country; your mileage may vary) enshrines a right to control of the exploitation of your works, yes.
