When you download software you receive a copy. You start out with
zero works. Somebody sends you a copy of that work. You write it to
disk. You end up with the same number of copies as you were given.
Cite a court case that upholds a claim otherwise?
In any case, the Linux kernel authors have already given people
permission to make unmodified copies of the kernel, which is all that
is happening in step 1. So, this is not an essential element of my
argument.
