The US has a doctrine of first sale which says there is no right to control distribution. There's a right to control copying, that's it.

Leaving aside the long running issue that despite some people's claims here that US copyright law is evil and run by megacorps while the reality is that the US is in breach of many of it's treaty commitments on copyright (and has been for a long time), the doctrine of first sale absolutely does not say that there is no right to control distribution.
