Only if you distribute, or convey, or whatever, in the same sense as a
"book", that is to say, the one copy you have, at which point you loose
it for the person you distributed it to.

If you attempt to mean that:
        * copy MyCopy YourCopy
        * give you YourCopy
        * keep MyCopy

Then you're not talking about first sale but of distributing copies.

If you attempt to mean that:
        * copy MyCopy YourCopy
        * give you YourCopy
        * delete MyCopy

Then you're clear.

If you do this second thing an X amount of times, I predict it will be
about as hard to convince a judge you're not trying to workaround
copyright as it is to throw an apple off planetary orbit by your hands
alone.
