No Harry, neither I nor anyone else needs to "define" that ownership does not include the right to replicate for redistribution.
As I pointed out (and as you refuse to admit) there are already seperate terms for distribution rights and neither I nor anyone else need to explain that anymore than we need to explain that eating something is separate from cooking it. In both cases that is something the listener is generally able to comprehend on their own.
