Your question is too complicated for a simple answer.
Please quote all relevant legislation in any jurisdiction ..
But in the context of this thread, the downloading is expressly permitted and
the GPL allows for your unfettered personal use of both the binary image and
the source code .. That seems to be a straightforward way of defeating at least
one of the distribution caveats contained in the GPL.
Since the GPL is more liberal than USC 109/17, then logicaly USC 109/17
imposes restrictions your rights and according to the text USC 109/17
only applies to embedded software and don't apply to first sale.

What part of 17 USC 109 did you miss? That holds for the USofA and as far as I
know it is followed in most other countries. If it is not, then too bad for
them.
What *is* your point, in relation to GPL software and USC 109/17 ?
