Since GNUtards believe that GPL licensees must follow the GPL ('not a
contract') instead of invoking first sale they must believe that copies
are not owned by GPL licensees. GNUtards believe in all sort of silly
theories.

We've got the copyright.gov on our side RJack:

http://www.copyright.gov/reports/studies/dmca/sec-104-report-vol-1.pdf

"There is no dispute that section 109 applies to works in digital
form. Physical copies of works in a digital format, such as CDs or
DVDs, are subject to section 109 in the same way as physical copies
in analog form. Similarly, a lawfully made tangible copy of a
digitally downloaded work, such as a work downloaded to a floppy
disk, Zip disk, or CD-RW, is clearly subject to section 109."
