I'm not assuming anything, and I'm not trying to get permission to
distribute an album I just bought to more than 3 friends. I just think I
hit an interesting question whose answer I don't know, and an important
real-life scenario.

I have no doubt. But the question is whether the idea is correct.

This depends on whether the license is attached to the *file* or the
"work". And this is ultimatley the question I'm trying to ask.
Cheers,
