So...
And as the cases have demonstrated, "fair use" (1 or 2 copies) has not been deemed punishable, - and in that loose sense, - the term "unauthorized" is more applicable. Of course, - that's not even getting into the illegal practices of the recording industry.
And....
You have my permission to copy as many Sordid Humor CDs as you want.
And....
As far as the cloud, placing your file on a hard drive, at a data center, and giving someone share access to a facsimile of a recorded work, with a question of whether or not it will even be "usable" by that person: will be an even bigger stretch....Do you think that that will constitute "distribution?"

Where people had paid to see inside,
For entertainment they watch his body twist
Behind his eyes he says, 'I still exist.'"
