"First Sale" Applied Overseas
The result in today's copyright ruling seems logical, though as policy, it might make sense if making $100K this way was too much. I'm inclined to apply copyright rules narrowly when possible. The line-up is a bit different, Alito might be the switch from when the issue was decided 4-4 (see Kagan's concurrence). The "it is so clear" bit is probably a legal fiction.
