OK, those consider those copies that you've just made on your own
computer, that you've not yet distributed. When were they first sold?
They haven't been, you've only just made them. Why then do you believe
that they benefit from a 'first sale' exception?
More accurately, when were those copies you've just made first placed on
the European market with the consent of the copyright holder? They
haven't been, you've only just made them. Why then do you believe that
they benefit from any exhaustion of the distribution right?
