I would say that uploading definitely is distribution, but can simply downloading (not via a torrent) be legally defined as distribution?

It's already an illegal copy of a copyrighted work. How could downloading an
already illegal copy (which creates another copy) be legal? Insert whatever legal term is appropriate if it's not "distribution"
per se.
(All my opinions are assuming the downloader is in a jurisdiction that honors copyright law, of course)
