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.

You are right, it doesn't, BUT the Parent Company TGN's Terms
do state
that by placing anything on one of their servers, and it names the
companies, you give them 3rd party rights to distribute (sell) that data
as they see fit. The Rotsweb AUP does say they are a "distributor". What
do distributors do? They sell things.
