Can a person a non-party lawfully distribute GPL software?
Sure. 17 USC 109.
Of course not. The cited reference is merely the first-sale
doctrine, which only applies to redistributing a legally
acquired physical copy of a copyrighted work. You cannot
make copies in violation of copyright and then distribute
them under this rule.
This is exactly the same wrong argument that the anti-GPL
folks are always making - chop up the rules into little
pieces, accept the ones that let you do stuff, and ignore
the ones that impose the requirements for doing so.
