A potential infinity of examples exist. One example is that where copies are being legally made without any grant of copyright, you don't need any further grant of copyright to make those copies legal. For example: generic web browsing. Another issue is that copyright can't make copying legal when other laws are being broken. For example, if making copies requires breaking and entering someone else's house, the person who would be making those copies does not posses a legal copy to make further copies from. -- Raul
