Narrative:
ATC gave flight a rerte prior to takeoff. ATC shows in their data that the flight was filed that way. As shown by the flight plan, the original route is different. Crew advised dispatch after takeoff. Fuel was ok to continue the flight. ATC does not have the authority to change the route of flight, only the pilot and dispatcher jointly have the authority/authorized. Correction: violate ATC. They do not have that authority/authorized.
