Can you name any of these IP lawyers?  I've not seen any of them post to the
net, nor do they seem to be the ones who write copyright treatises (Goldstein
or Nimmer).  I've not found any cases that indicate my interpretation of the
law is incorrect.  And I spent two hours today going over your post with
my copyright profressor, and he couldn't see any legal basis for what you
say about things not actually containing X to be distributions of X, and
pointed me toward some cases that indicate the opposite.
