I disagree. It is not historically controversial for the owner of property to decide what is done with it.

But when someone comes into my house I have some control over what they are allowed to do within my house and I can ask them to leave with the support of the law if they don't obey my wishes. When I enter a voluntary employment agreement and give an employee access to my equipment the same thing applies.
