First Sale Doctrine for the movie La Cantina: All DVD Movies is an online retailer and legal owner of the physical copies of movies it sells, rents and exchanges such as the movie La Cantina. The promotion and advertisement of all movies, such as La Cantina DVD, advertised for sale or rental through the display of copies of box covers, including titles, actors names, producers, and the use of excerpts, synopses and previews of the movies is protected under the "first sale doctrine". 17 U.S.C. § 109 (a). The first sale doctrine protects the buyer's All DVD Movies interest in goods it has purchased for resale and rental of such DVD movies and videos as La Cantina Movie. Under the doctrine, once the copyright/trademark owner has sold its goods, such as the video movie La Cantina, it has exhausted its copyright/trademark rights in those goods and can no longer dictate how or where the buyer uses or redistributes those goods. The "first sale doctrine" protects retailers, such as All DVD Movies, in the promotion, advertisement, rental and sale of copyrighted works.
