Laura,
You are right about the definition. But if data is allotted,
scattered or delivered to a website that sits behind a subscription
wall, then it is selling.
That is not happening right now, but trust has been eroded.
Rel@ively,

I look at the term "distribute" entirely different.
If I upload my data to WorldConnect and they keep in on the shelf it does
no one any good. It they post/distribute it on the internet we all gain.
Distribute:
1. to divide and give out in shares; deal out; allot.
2. to disperse through a space or over an area; spread; scatter.
3. to promote, sell, and ship or deliver (an item or line of
merchandise) to individual customers, esp. in a specified region or area.
4. to pass out or deliver (mail, newspapers, etc.) to intended
recipients.
