Answer to Question 1

Under the first sale doctrine, Derrick has the legal right to sell the CD or otherwise dispose of it. However, the first sale doctrine does not allow the owner to make a copy of a copyrighted work. Copying and giving away a copy of the CD would be unfair to the owner of the copyright, who would not receive compensation for the intellectual property rights.

Answer to Question 2

TRUE
