Under USA copyright law a "copy" is a tangible object which embodies a
"work" (an intangible).  Subject to some limitations, the creation of
"copies" is the exclusive right of the owner of the copyright (an
intangible right) in the work.  Copyright law gives the owner of the
copyright in a work no control over the disposition of copies once they
have been created: they are ordinary chattel property just like apples
or hammers.
