New In that case, you're being compelled
I don't know the rationale that a lawyer would use to not count it as distribution, but I would be shocked if there isn't one.
Odd analogy alert!

Suppose you are an ISP and you discover one of your clients is hosting a child porn site. If you were compelled to turn over the images as evidence, you're clearly not "distributing" them in any meaningful sense.

New That's the idea - but how far does that go?
There are two extremes. I know what happens there.

What is the boundary case?

Cheers,
