What we interpret words to mean is very different in the legal realm.

I ran into the word "reproduce" in my agreement with content producers. Some content producers and myself saw that word, and took it to mean that i would be making copies of the images.

My attorney said that if I receive images from a content producer (on CD/DVD/HD) and copy to another location (ie. to my HD), then I am REPRODUCing the images.

Whereas the common thinking of reproduction is like photocopying a document so you have 2 sets.

Same is true with words like distribute, etc... they have meaning in context to copyright law, but our common context is different.
