"repackage the recording"? wtf? Nobody said anything about format shifting. The doctrine of First sale says you can always resell your copy, physical or otherwise. 50 years ago your were "buying" a copy when you bought e.g. a vinyl record. (Sometimes people attempt to confuse the situation by conflating the purchase of a copy of a creative work (one instance) with the rights regarding new copies that copyright grants to the creator.) Regardless, I said property rights, not the temporary monopoly granted by copyright. I'm not talking about minor things covered by copyright. John Deere is the current example of eroded property rights, where thy retain de facto ownership through the copyright of the firmware.
