You're (almost totally) wrong, and (plonked) GNUtian dak is (mostly)
right. "The right to access the copyrighted content must not be
confused with the incidental possession of the object that facilitates
practical exercise of the right. It is access to the copyrighted
material which has been parted with by the copyright owner in first
sale, and it is that right of access which is alienable under the
first sale doctrine, regardless of whether it is facilitated by
tangible or intangible means." -- "These Reply Comments are submitted
