Samsung and several other defendants disagree with you stupid Hyman.

"As a separate and distinct Twelfth Affirmative Defense and each claim
for relief alleged therein, Defendant alleges that Plaintiffs’ claim for
copyright infringement is barred under at least the provisions of 17
U.S.C. § 109(a), as Defendant was licensed and any copies alleged to be
infringing were, therefore, lawfully made."
