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?
