Yeah, and teleportation is totally illegal in the GNU Republic.

Beside that, it is just impossible to have a binary copy of publicly
available GPL'd work NOT "lawfully made" (ouside the GNU Republic,
that is). 17 USC 109 says nothing about makers of copies. And as for
contract claim (recall that the FSF has been constantly telling the
entire world for years that the GPL is not a contract), it falls under
"mere aggregation" clause anyway.
