A perfectly legitimate copy (as of time of reproduction) just can't somehow become infringing by subsequent act of distribution of THAT copy under terms and conditions that you don't like, silly. That's what "first sale" / exhaustion is about. (The idea is that copyright owner can "sell" copies (material objects) made by him and/or permissions to reproduce by others and don't mess with secondary markets with respect to copies made and distributed by him and/or made with his permission and owned by others.)
