   What is relevant is first sale. That is, the owner of a lawful copy has
   the right to sell that copy. Thus, the sale can take place without
   accepting the license. 

Are you sure?

|    are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.

|    based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this
|    License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying,
|    distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it.

Selling that copy is distribution AFAIU, the same goes for the
examples you have.
