Giggles, please don't use terms you're not familiar with. You obviously have no @#%^ing clue what "first-sale doctrine" means or any of the principles behind it. One of the key points of first-sale doctrine is that
once the work is lawfully sold or even transferred gratuitously, the copyright owner’s interest in the material object in which the copyrighted work is embodied is exhausted. The owner of the material object can then dispose of it as he sees fit. Thus, one who buys a copy of a book is entitled to resell it, rent it, give it away, or destroy it. However, the owner of the copy of the book will not be able to make new copies of the book because the first sale doctrine does not limit copyright owner’s reproduction right.

I'm not really looking forward to digital cars, cutlery, dishes, houses, clothes, furniture, air conditioners, or dishwashers.
