No, it doesn't.
Copyright law gives the copyright holder only the right to control of making copies of the work. The copyright owner has no say where a copy gets sold once that copy is authorized.
While doing what Rick C suggests may be a violation of Wowio (and potentially local laws of false identification), it's not a copyright violation and certainly not piracy.
