Do you believe that first-sale allows you to sell the videotape? Do you further believethat you may set up a battery of VCRs to record the show multiple times and sell those tapes?
How does an "over-the-air broadcast television program" relate to an "over-the-internet computer program" licensed under a FOSS license? Before your silly "over-the-air broadcast television program" rhetorical question even makes sense, you must stipulate what license, if any, is applicable to the hypothetical "over-the-air broadcast television program".
