Control over new or first-processed information

Because the processing of already existing information leads to the creation of new information, whenever the Being with control permits another Being to process information on a dataset, new information is created as a result. (Of course, from a different viewpoint, as Beings start processing as soon as they come into existence and stop only when they are no longer able to do so (thus becoming Things), they acquire control over information throughout their lifetimes.) Of course, this new information may remain immaterial (i.e. a thought, a feeling etc.). If, however, this new information materialises in the analogue or the digital world (e.g. if someone is allowed to read a book or process a material and, as a result, produces a new book or a new artefact), then its creator exercises control over it—notwithstanding the issue of whether this control constitutes property or whether other Beings, most notably the Being that allowed the previous processing, and, of course, the state, also exercise control over this new information.
