You might want to recheck the applicable copyright law terms.

A "publication" has a significant impact of the amount of control 
the copyright holder has on what happens to a copyrighted works.

In Germany, the legal term is "Erschöpfungsgrundsatz", in the US,
a vaguely similar legal concept seems to exist under the name
"first sale doctrine".
