What Stevie gave her mother was the right to royalties. That doesn't mean that you have any control over the song. Like when Michael Jackson (Sony) bought the Beatles' catalog, he could give permission for their songs to be used in advertisements which they didn't approve, but that didn't stop Paul and Yoko from making money off of the use, even if they had no control over it.
