Copyright is specifically about the publication of a work, so I'm very 
confused by the claim that it is a privacy right.

To me it seems related to privacy in the way that other property rights 
are.  Defining domains of control for a private individual. That is 
diffrent from being a "privacy right" in itself.  It is about encouraging 
distribution of information, not about controlling it. Privacy is about 
controlling the distribution of information.
