Can't be done. The copyright holder has the absolute right to grant the right to copy to whomsoever, and with whatever restrictions, they wish. If they decide to grant me the right to only sell their book to people called "Smith", then that is absolutely their right. It's completely irrelevant whether or not you, me, or anyone else agrees with their decision or thinks that they're completely nuts.
