But you have to be the legal owner to be entitled, under the current laws, make any copy. Thus, whatever the license, unless you're the lawful owner of the copy, you may not make a copy. You only have to be in legal _possesion_ of the copy, you do not have to be the owner of it.

You do not have to be the owner of the copy in order to exercise the rights given in the GPL. If you are not the owner of the copy, the license --whatever it might be-- doesn't enter into it at all. The license does _not_ apply to the physical copy, it applies to the software.
