@Chip Bennett - but if a client (for example) emailed me a zip of the theme so *I* could tweak it and/or upload it to his site, that woudl be distribution. I still have a copy. Many premium themes don't have anything in them to check who own the copy or where it is located. Up till now, it's mostly an honor based system, and I think Jeff has an excellent point.

To further the example, if it was an mp3 file you sent me, the RAA sure would consider that distribution.
