In every OS I've worked with, your three basic permissions are read, write, and execute. In order to play an audio file, all you need to be able to do is read the file. Likewise, in order to a copy a file, all you need to be able to do is read it. Allowing third-party applications the ability to play a file (read), you are giving them the ability to copy it.
