Seems like Spanish law is a bit on the wrong here. This goes directly against the freedom of goods enshrined in art. 28 et seq. EU treaty. As soon as a work is rightfully released on the market, the author looses every economic right he has to ensure the free flow of goods on the internal market. check out http://europa.eu.int/eur-lex/lex/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=CELEX:31991L0250:EN:HTML art.4 (c) Not that you can do anything against that law, but in a litigation it is a rightful defense.
