That's typical among american corporations, unfortunately. And it's not even 
limited to the First-Sale Doctrine. American corporations didn't like 
limited copyright so they had that outright changed (thanks in part to the 
help of Sunny Bozo). They don't like the Fair Use doctine either, so they 
piss on that, too. Basically anything that gets in the way of ecenomic 
anarchy they just shit all over.
