I can sell my factory-produced legal copies

Your factory-produced legal copies of what? NBC's content? No you can't. Making DVDs in a factory doesn't magically assign copyright to you. You need NBC's permission.

I'm talking about a DVD purchased in a store that NBC contracted to be made. So you haven't answered the question.

Well, I have, in a roundabout way. That DVD was made with the permission of the copyright holder. Your home produced one was not.

I don't need their permission to record a broadcast. I only need their permission to make copies beyond that, depending on circumstances that don't matter because I'm not doing that in the hypothetical.

I don't need their permission to record a broadcast.

Correct.

I only need their permission to make copies beyond that

And to sell any of your recordings.

And to sell any of your recordings.

Can you give me references for this? As far as I understand it the broadcaster is doing the first distribution, so the copyright holder cannot restrict my ability to resell the (single) copy they gave me.
