Did the buyer sign a contract detailing this explicitly as a condition of
commercial sale?
If not: the Doctrine of First Sale allows the buyer to do any damn thing
he or she wants with the film (except making illegal copies): resale,
rental, loan, gift...what have you.
(sue? No one sues without issuing a cease and desist letter...)
