http://www.answers.com/topic/first-sale-doctrine cites several cases, and has a very nice writeup on the current status of this issue. In essence, you're claiming that the difference between Davidson & Associates v. Internet Gateway Inc (2004) and other cases such as Softman v. Adobe (2001) and Novell, Inc. v. CPU Distrib., Inc. (2000) is that the presence of a click-through is the determining factor. Of course, it could just as easily be something else (for example, admitting in court agreement with the license).
