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.
