What error? Teleportation and digital REdistribution aside for a 
moment, even Time Warner agrees that my copy of winxp64 does fall 
within the scope of the first sale doctrine. "We note that the 
initial downloading of a copy, from an authorized source to a 
purchaser's computer, can result in lawful ownership of a copy 
stored in a tangible medium. If the purchaser does not make and 
retain a second copy, further transfer of that particular copy 
on such medium would fall within the scope of the first sale 
doctrine."
