New Zealand at least; subsequent distribution and sale of copyrighted works is specifically excluded from control by rights holders. It is also specifically stated to apply to works produced in both NZ and overseas (including if parallel imported, such imports since at least 1998; I don't recall what the legislation for P/Imports was prior to that).
